  1. Reach a Wider Audience: By streaming to multiple platforms simultaneously, we can reach congregants who use different social media channels.

  2. Engage with Viewers: The multichat feature allows us to interact with viewers in real-time, giving a sense of community and engagement.

  3. Pre-recorded Streams: We can record services in advance and broadcast them as if they’re live, making it easier to reach viewers in different time zones.
                                                

4. Guest Features: Invite guest speakers or performers to join live stream seamlessly.      

  
                                               

You will agree with me that Restream is a versatile tool that can help churches connect with their congregations and beyond, making it an invaluable resource for modern livestreaming.
