This page describes an example use case: an illustrative scenario written to show how a team could set up multistreaming. It is not a customer story, and it does not describe a real organization or real results.
A small fitness studio teaches a regular timetable of classes. It wants members who cannot make it to the studio to join live, and it wants to reach new people on Facebook, YouTube and TikTok. Instructors are not technical, so the studio wants a repeatable setup: one camera feed, one stream, and a schedule that does not need to be rebuilt for every class.
Scheduling with recurrences lets the studio set up classes once and reuse the pattern.
One stream is relayed to Facebook, YouTube and TikTok so the studio does not have to run a separate setup for each.
Cloud recording archives each class, and pre-recorded MP4 files can be looped as a 24/7 channel so there is always something to watch.
Instructors press Go Live once in OBS Studio or a camera app that can output RTMP; the relay handles the rest.
Add Facebook, YouTube and TikTok as destinations and schedule recurring broadcasts for each class slot.
Send one stream from OBS Studio, vMix or a hardware encoder to your ingest URL. Check the sound from the instructor microphone before each class.
Go live once. Afterwards, reuse recordings as an on-demand library or loop them as a 24/7 playlist.
A studio streaming a few classes a week to three platforms fits within Creator ($19 per month billed monthly, or $15 per month billed annually): up to 5 channels, 50 streaming hours a month, 1080p at 60fps and 5 hours of cloud storage. The free Starter plan (2 channels, 20 hours, 720p at 30fps) works for trying a first class on two platforms.
Plan details are on the pricing page. Plan limits such as channels, hours and seats are the same ones listed there.
