How to Stream to Twitch & YouTube at the Same Time Free
Multistreaming doubles your discoverability without doubling your work. Here is exactly how to stream to Twitch and YouTube at the same time, completely free.
Why Multistream?
Every platform has a different audience. Someone searching YouTube Live will never find your Twitch stream, and vice versa. Multistreaming lets you reach both audiences from a single broadcast.
The catch? Most tools that offer multistreaming either charge for it, add a watermark to your stream, or limit your hours. StreamUps is the exception.
How Cloud Relay Multistreaming Works
Traditional multistreaming means encoding your stream multiple times — once per platform. This hammers your CPU and requires significant upload bandwidth.
Cloud relay is different. You send one stream to the cloud, and the relay service distributes it to each platform. Your PC only encodes once, and the relay handles the rest. Zero extra CPU load.
