What is multistream?

Multistream, or multistreaming, is a technology that allows you to broadcast video content to several webcam platforms simultaneously. In the context of the camming industry, multistreaming allows models to broadcast their shows on multiple cam sites simultaneously, expanding their audience and increasing their earning potential. This allows cam models to reach more viewers and manage their online presence more effectively.

For multistream to be accessible from a technical point of view, it is necessary to use programs such as OBS or SplitCam.

This requires some skill and is available, for the most part, only on freemium sites, but the result is worth it. If you have no experience, start with at least two cam sites at the same time and gradually increase the number.

Equipment

Multistream requires increased production capacity. Working from a phone or laptop in this mode is definitely not suitable. A powerful PC is required. To meet the requirements for simultaneous streaming on multiple platforms, pay attention to the hardware of your computer:

• Processor - model no older than 4-5 years;
• Video card - model not older than 4-5 years, with a memory capacity of at least 6 GB;
• RAM - more than 16 GB.

Also, for multistreaming it is important to have high Internet speed, preferably at least 100 Mbit/s, since outgoing traffic will go to several webcam sites.

Software - OBS or SplitCam?

Multistreaming is not possible without special software. You need a program that specializes in dividing video streams into several webcam platforms. The most popular are OBS and SplitCam.

Both programs, OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) and SplitCam, have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between them depends on your specific needs and preferences. Here's a quick comparison:

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software)

• Advantages:

  • Free and open source software.
  • Wide range of functions and options for setting up your broadcast.
  • Support for various platforms and services for broadcasting.
  • Active user community and extensive documentation for support.

• Disadvantages:

  • Some users may find the interface difficult for beginners.
  • Requires some time and effort to set up and master.

  • Supports multi-streaming and broadcasting to several platforms simultaneously.
  • The presence of some additional functions, such as adding effects and filters.

• Disadvantages:

  • Fewer features and customization options compared to OBS.
  • Performance and stability issues may occur, especially on weaker computers.
  • Not always up-to-date and extensive support and documentation.

So, if you want a more powerful and customizable tool, then OBS might be a better choice. If you're looking for ease of use and basic multistreaming functionality, SplitCam may be a better option. Ultimately, the choice depends on your specific needs and experience level.

Webcam platforms

Choose several platforms on which you would like to stream your show. Make sure they support multi-streaming and provide you with the tools and features you need to manage your content.

The best combination for working in multistream mode is freemium sites. This is due to the fact that this type of cam platform does not have any strict restrictions or rules. Thus, you can broadcast without thinking about the prohibitions of a particular platform.

Working with the BunnyCam studio, we recommend choosing the following webcam sites for multistreaming:

• Chaturbate
• Stripchat
• BongaCams
• Streamate

In order not to miss requests from members on webcam sites, open a separate browser window for each of them. This way you can simultaneously monitor your audience on all platforms.

Conclusion

In general, working as a webcam model in multistream mode does not differ significantly from working on a single webcam platform. The only difference is that a larger audience requires more attention. It is necessary to communicate more often, respond to comments, ask questions in order to keep the attention of viewers. But earnings will also be higher.
