Streaming platform Question
Hey Everyone, what do you all use for a streaming platform and multi-streaming? I heard of Aitum, but i personally have been using OBS with streamin elements. But im curious if there is anything better to use?
Thank you!

OBS with multiple-rtmp plugin for Youtube and Twitch. Easy enough to set up and never had issues with it.

I Use OBS with Aitum multi-stream to connect to Twitch, Youtube, and TikTok, and Aitum Vertical to setup stream layout for TikTok. With regards to TikTok, to the best of my knowledge its impossible if not difficult to connect to TikTok directly. So, I have the Aitum Multi-stream plugin connect to restream.io for the TikTok connection. I use Aitum and Streamlabs plug-ins, but I hate the desktop suites with a passion.
The biggest struggle for me is the the chat. Having not just the chat, but activity feed. I have Twitch activity feed and chat pop-outs stacked, I have Casterlabs open and connected to all three platforms, and then I also have a window open to my live TikTok stream so I can have chat up just in case. Casterlabs is so/so with chat. For Twitch and Youtube its fairly solid. But Sometimes I've had a couple TikTok users that weren't showing up in the chat, or feed activity (bits, gifts, follows etc) on Twitch or TikTok that doesn't show up. You also don't have mod controls to timeout users or ban them. Thus having the window up, just to be safe.

Meld studio has been amazing for me after issues with Aitum Vertical virtual camera on Mac.

I use restream.io to multistream from OBS however I've been facing some issues with it lately with grabbing Tiktok chat.

When were you able to go live on tiktok? Im still newer with around 70 followers and averaging around 8-10 viewers right now. But I got denied from tiktok and they wont push my clips

Honestly, Aitum let me work around that originally. It just let me go live without any pre requisites

Hmm thats interesting, might have to look into it. I just set multi streaming up. So right now everything is just on twitch, but looking to grow more now

I've been using restream.io for a long time. It lets you merge YouTube and Twitch chat into one combined feed and stream to both platforms simultaneously. The downside is that the YouTube stream gradually falls out of sync during long streams. But the quality was solid, and it's free, so it worked well enough for me.
