Restreamer is a self-hosted video broadcast platform and RTMP streaming server. It functions as a live media processing gateway and a multi-destination stream relay, providing a web-based management interface to configure video codecs, hardware acceleration, and stream routing.
The system enables multi-platform video streaming by duplicating a single live video source and forwarding it to various third-party broadcast services and external servers simultaneously. It also supports direct-to-website broadcasting, allowing users to host live content for private or public audiences via customizable embedded players and template-driven landing pages.
The platform covers a broad range of media capabilities, including diverse source ingestion, real-time media processing with hardware-accelerated filtering, and stream performance monitoring. Security is managed through automated traffic encryption and access controls for video content visibility.
Programmatic stream management is available via a REST-based orchestration API for integration with external software.
