With the rise of multistreaming, many content creators are choosing to connect their Kick accounts to Restream. This integration offers a streamlined approach for streaming across multiple platforms. Here’s how to easily set up your Kick account for multistreaming using Restream.
Setting Up Your Kick Account with Restream
Connecting your Kick account to Restream allows access to numerous live features, enabling seamless multistreaming. Follow these steps to get started:
- Visit the Restream.io homepage and create an account.
- Select “Channels” from the Restream dashboard on the left side.
- Locate the “K” channel from the list.
- Click on “Add Channels” to expand the options and choose Kick.
- Log in with your Kick account credentials.
- Select “Allow Access” to confirm the connection.
Your Kick account will now be visible as a connected channel in the Restream dashboard, allowing for easy management of your streams.
Benefits of Multistreaming
Multistreaming not only enhances visibility but also engages a broader audience. Prominent streamers like Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt and Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa are already reaping the benefits. However, it’s essential to understand that broadcasting on multiple platforms may influence potential revenue.
Managing Your Live Streams
To precisely configure which streams go live on specific platforms, follow these steps:
- Click “New Stream” in the top-right corner to initiate a new broadcast.
- Access “Restream Studio” to bring up your streaming interface.
- If using OBS, choose “Encoder | RTMP option”.
- Grant permission for your microphone and camera to enter the studio.
- Manage your connected platforms by clicking “Channels” in the top-right corner.
Here, you can toggle each linked channel to decide which platforms your stream will be broadcasted on. Once everything is set, press the red “Go Live” button to begin streaming.
Optimizing Your Stream Management
After linking your accounts, you can control titles, descriptions, and thumbnails directly from Restream. This feature simplifies managing multiple broadcasts, allowing for a cohesive streaming experience.
While multistreaming is a powerful strategy for audience growth, it is crucial for streamers to balance their revenue potential. Streaming exclusively on Kick often provides better payouts than broadcasting across multiple platforms. Each streamer should weigh their goals against these factors when deciding on their streaming strategy.
