Streamlabs offers a built-in multistream feature for streamers using Streamlabs Desktop as their primary streaming software. The setup is integrated directly into the Streamlabs settings: enable Multistream, link the destination platforms, configure each platform's stream key, and Streamlabs handles the cross-platform broadcast natively without requiring a third-party relay service.

The advantage over Restream: no third-party service in the broadcast path means one less potential point of failure and no third-party privacy considerations on your stream metadata. Streamlabs handles the routing internally.

The setup steps: open Streamlabs Desktop, navigate to the Multistream section in settings, enable the feature, click Add Platform for each destination, sign in to authorize each platform, save and run a test broadcast.

The pricing model: Streamlabs Multistream is included with the Streamlabs Ultra subscription tier, which also unlocks additional features (advanced themes, more cloudbot capacity, custom alerts). The cost is moderate at the monthly billing tier and lower at the annual.

For Streamlabs users, the native option is the default choice.
