What is Aitum Multistream?

Aitum Multistream is a free OBS plugin that allows you to send your OBS output to multiple destinations at the same time. Multistream also enables you to have completely separate quality streams to those destinations.

Aitum Multistream lets you:

  • Output your stream to multiple services
  • Control your encoders per output
  • Control audio track outputs
  • Maximise your outputs without use of more resources

What Aitum Multistream isn’t

Aitum Multistream is not a cloud relay service.
You need to have an internet connection with sufficient bandwidth for the additional streams you wish to run.

What’s the between Aitum Multistream and a cloud relay service?

Aitum Multistream

Aitum Multistream uses your computer’s resources and internet bandwidth for additional outputs.
This means your upload speed needs to be able to handle additional load, added by each output.

Cloud Relay Service

A cloud relay service only requires a single stream to be sent from your computer to the relay service.
This means your upload speed only needs to handle a single stream, because the cloud relay service will distribute it to each site on your behalf.

So why would I use Aitum Multistream over a Cloud Relay Service?

Many reasons!
Whilst relay services are great only if you have a low upload speed, that also means:

⭐️ Free tiers on relay services only get you so far.

Any relay service with a free tier will have limits for bitrate, resolution, framerate and how many places you can stream to.

Aitum Multistream lets you stream to any and as many platforms as you like, with no limits.
No hidden fees.

⭐️ Every stream is locked to your lowest platform’s quality.

YouTube can accept a video bitrate of up to 40,000kbps, but if you also wanted to stream to Twitch with a relay service, both platforms would be locked to 8,000kbps.

Aitum Multistream lets you maximise the capabilities of every platform.
You get to control your stream’s quality.

⭐️ You’re not taking full advantage of what you’ve already paid for.

Modern graphics cards have chips specifically made for doing video encoding, which is what happens when you stream.
Why not fully utilise what you already own?
