The Restream alternative that watches itself
StreamRove does what Restream does — one stream to YouTube, Twitch and any custom RTMP destination — and then keeps working after you go live: a Broadcast Engineer monitors your feed, scores its health 0–100, and switches to a backup stream automatically if your encoder drops.
Switching takes minutes: your platforms reconnect with one click and your encoder just gets a new RTMP URL.
What you get that a basic multistreamer doesn't do
An engineer, not just a relay
Most multistreaming services forward your feed and hope. StreamRove's Stream Doctor reads your bitrate, dropped frames and packet loss in real time and tells you what's wrong, how serious it is, and how to fix it.
Automatic backup stream
If your encoder or connection dies, StreamRove detects it within seconds and keeps your channels alive with a branded holding screen, countdown or looping video — then restores your feed when you're back.
Smart per-platform settings
Smart Output Profiles know that Twitch caps at 6,000 kbps and Facebook prefers 30fps, and compute the best combined encoder settings for your exact destination mix.
Control platforms from one place
Universal Live Control updates titles, categories and privacy on YouTube and Twitch, and starts, stops or restarts any destination — without five browser tabs.

Frequently asked questions
How hard is it to switch from Restream to StreamRove?
About ten minutes. Reconnect YouTube and Twitch with OAuth, paste your other platforms' stream keys once, then update the RTMP URL and key in OBS, vMix or your encoder. Nothing changes on your channels themselves.
Does StreamRove have a browser studio like Restream Studio?
Yes — StreamRove Studio runs in the browser, supports remote guests who join with a single link, and broadcasts the mixed output to all of your connected platforms simultaneously.
What is the Broadcast Engineer exactly?
It's a monitoring layer that watches eight weighted metrics from your live feed — bitrate, FPS, dropped frames, packet loss, audio levels and more — and converts anomalies into human-readable alerts with severity and a suggested fix, instead of leaving you to interpret raw encoder stats. Optional AI-assisted summaries can add a plain-language overview when enabled.
Can I schedule and control streams per platform?
Yes. Universal Live Control lets you edit titles, descriptions, categories and privacy on YouTube and Twitch from StreamRove, and start, stop or restart individual destinations mid-broadcast without touching your encoder.
Is there a free way to try StreamRove?
Sign-up is free and takes under a minute — connect a platform, point your encoder at your ingest URL and run a private test broadcast to see the health score and dashboard live before committing to a plan.
