multistreaming
Simultaneous platform streaming
Multistreaming is broadcasting live video content to multiple platforms simultaneously—streaming to Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook at the same time rather than choosing one.
The practice maximizes audience reach without requiring separate broadcasts: She uses multistreaming software to hit all her audiences at once.
Also called simulcasting in broadcasting contexts.
