SAY GOODBYE TO BIG COMPANIES WITH THESE ALTERNATIVES
Throughout the years, we have been relying on big companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta and others to give us access to their products to use our computers and phones, communicate on the online web, and store our files. However, as things have gotten worse with the years and the rise of gen-AI only making things worse, people are starting to question if they can even move to new services. However, the journey can be hard and there are so many options that non-tech savvy people are going lose patience and give up.
That is why I made this long and comprehensive list of mostly open-source alternatives to different things from computer OS, social media, to even TV. Many things are easy to move to, others are for more tech-savvy people, and this list doesn't even have all of the available options in any category! However, this is a great first step into trying new things and to slowly move away from big tech. You don't need to do it all at once, go step by step, decide if there are some services you can't stop using and which ones could use a switch and have fun!

Nice program and easy enough to setup.
But sadly it limits the Facebook pages you can stream to. For example you can't stream to your gaming page or other pages you manage unless you have a paid subscription. You can only stream to your personal page.
I think the subscription service is rather expensive for what it is especially if you have a weak dollar like us Aussies do at the moment. So with this in mind it's not really an affordable or viable option for me to subscribe.
So I guess I will have to go in search of something else that will allow me to stream to my Facebook gaming page as well as other sites at the same time.
Three stars from me as I removed two stars because of cost and the ability that you can't stream to your Facebook gaming page without a paid subscription.
I can't comment on the pay version, but I can say that the free version is very lacking. Despite the fact that you can type anything in the naming field, it doesn't actually rename the stream when it goes over to the destination; I've had to rename my videos over at Twitch and Youtube because the name I entered into Restream didn't come into the picture (pun intended).
Unless you're playing Fortnite or one of the other most popular (or maybe sponsored) games, don't expect to be able to choose your game, either. I stream Destiny 2, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Portal Knights and a few others and each time, it doesn't bring up any of them. There's no way to manually add in a game, and there's no place to request support, either.
Which brings me to my last thing: zero support. You would think that if a company would want free users to turn into paying users, that you would have top-notch support. But so far, I've found no evidence of ANY support at all. This is the most unacceptable thing about it.
All in all, it's a good product, but marred by the glaring errors that I mentioned.
When I need to stream my live broadcasts to different channels, Restream.io is the best service that handles this. I am a fan of their Restream Go Live feature. It helps go live even when you have very basic requirements for live streaming.
Restream is very easy to use. It helps me reach more audience because I can stream my live videos to all of my desired platforms at once.
Restream is a really good service for multistreaming. The features are powerful and ahead of the competition.

Restream is the best help for multistreaming live videos. I use it for going live on Facebook, YouTube and Periscope. Thanks for making my job easier!
