restreaming

Passing along broadcasts

Restreaming is broadcasting a live video stream simultaneously to multiple platforms.

A content creator might restream to Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook at once, reaching audiences across services without doing separate broadcasts.

The practice and the software that enables it share the name: I use restreaming to hit all my platforms at once.
