What they are

Restream

Restream sends a single live broadcast simultaneously to more than 30 platforms, including YouTube, Twitch, LinkedIn, and Facebook. Creators, businesses, and educators use it to maximize reach without running separate streams. The built-in chat aggregator pulls audience messages from all platforms into one view. The free tier caps you at two destinations with Restream branding on the stream.

Zoom

Zoom is a video conferencing platform used for meetings, webinars, live Q&As, and online coaching sessions. Content creators, course instructors, and community builders rely on it to host live interactions with audiences of any size. The free tier caps group calls at 40 minutes, which is a genuine constraint for longer sessions. Paid plans start around $14.16 per month when billed annually and lift that limit while adding recording and webinar features.
