Stream Once, Reach Everyone: Introducing Restreaming from Expanse
Tuesday, June 16th, 2026 · Ian Tearle · 0 comments
Your community isn’t all in one place anymore. Some people follow you on YouTube, others on Facebook; some prefer to watch on your own website. So when you go live — a Sunday service, a school assembly, a special event — how do you reach all of them without running three setups at once?
That’s exactly what our new restreaming service is built for: broadcast your live video to every platform at the same time, from a single stream.
What is restreaming?
Most cameras and streaming tools can only send your live video to one destination at a time. Want it on YouTube and Facebook? Normally you’d need separate software, separate encoders, and a lot of fiddling — often more than one person to manage it.
Restreaming solves that. You send one stream to us, and we instantly forward it to all your chosen destinations — YouTube, Facebook, Twitch and more — live, in real time. One setup, everywhere your audience is.
Why it makes life easier
- Go live everywhere, effortlessly. Set your destinations once. Every time you stream, they all light up automatically.
- No extra hardware or technical know‑how. If you can point a camera or open streaming software, you’re ready. We handle the heavy lifting behind the scenes.
- Reliable and hands‑off. Your stream runs on managed infrastructure built for live video — so you can focus on the moment, not the technology.
- You stay in control. Add, rename, pause, or remove destinations whenever you like, right from your own dashboard.
A simple portal you actually control
Every customer gets a private, secure Restream Portal. Signing in is passwordless — just enter your email and we send you a one‑time code, so there’s no password to forget or look after.
Inside, you can:
- Add your destinations — paste in your YouTube, Facebook or other platform details and they’re live in seconds.
- Name them clearly — label each one (“Main YouTube”, “Parish Facebook”) so you always know which is which.
- See your status at a glance — a clear Live / Offline indicator tells you exactly when you’re broadcasting.
- Pause instantly — stop forwarding to your platforms with a single click whenever you need to.
It’s designed to be simple enough that anyone in your team can run it — not just the tech‑savvy.
Put live video on your own website, too
Alongside the social platforms, you can embed your live stream directly on your own site. We give you a ready‑to‑paste snippet that drops a clean video player onto any page — so visitors can watch with you right
there, no third‑party logos or distractions. When you’re live, it plays; when you’re not, it waits quietly for the next broadcast.
Who it’s for
Restreaming is perfect for anyone who wants to reach a wider audience without a production team:
- Churches and parishes broadcasting services, weddings, funerals and special celebrations to members near and far.
- Schools and community groups sharing assemblies, performances and events with families who can’t attend in person.
- Organisations and businesses running webinars, announcements and live updates across their channels.
If your people watch in more than one place, restreaming brings them together.
Getting started
Setting up takes minutes, and we’ll guide you through every step:
- We provision your stream and send you your secure sign‑in.
- You add the platforms you want to broadcast to.
- You go live — and your audience can watch wherever they are.
