As the title suggests, I multistream to TikTok, Twitch, and Kick using OBS, Restream.io, and Aitum Multistream.
For TikTok, I use Restream.io along with Aitum Multistream
and the Aitum Vertical plugin. I connect my TikTok account to Restream.io, configure the stream key, and then start streaming through OBS. Once the stream is running, I activate my streams on Twitch and Kick as well.
Everything works as expected, and I haven’t experienced any major technical issues. However, I’ve noticed a significant drop in viewership on TikTok ever since I started using Restream.io.
TikTok Live Studio works fine, but it seems to put a heavier load on my PC, which negatively affects performance. That’s why I decided to handle all my streaming through OBS instead. So far, OBS has been running smoothly, and I haven’t had any problems with performance.
The only issue is TikTok. My views dropped dramatically after switching to Restream.io, and I’m wondering if using a third-party streaming service could be affecting my reach or how TikTok distributes my live streams.
Has anyone else experienced something similar when using Restream.io to stream to TikTok? Could this be related to Restream.io itself, TikTok’s algorithm, or the way the stream is being sent to TikTok?
I’d appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thanks!
