How Restream + StreamTranslate works together

Restream itself is a multistreaming relay — it takes your video and pushes it to multiple destinations, but the relay layer doesn't render overlays. To get translated subtitles into a Restream multistream, you bake them in BEFORE Restream sees the video.

The clean approach: run OBS Studio (or Streamlabs, vMix, etc.) on your computer. Add StreamTranslate as a Browser Source in OBS. Set OBS's stream output target to your Restream RTMP ingest URL. When you hit Go Live in OBS, the video — subtitles already composited — goes to Restream, which then fans it out to every connected destination. Twitch, YouTube, Facebook Live, X, Kick, LinkedIn Live, Trovo — they all see the same subtitled stream.

If you use Restream Studio (their browser-based studio, no desktop encoder), there's a workaround: Restream Studio currently doesn't support arbitrary browser source URLs. You'd need to switch to OBS + Restream relay for StreamTranslate to work. We're actively working on a direct Restream Studio integration — sign up for updates.

Setup steps

1) Install OBS Studio. 2) Sign up at streamtranslate.live → get your overlay URL. 3) In OBS, add Browser Source → paste StreamTranslate URL → position at bottom. 4) In OBS Settings → Stream → set Server to Restream's RTMP URL and paste your Restream Stream Key. 5) Go Live in OBS. Restream fans the subtitled stream to all your connected destinations.

Frequently asked questions

Does Restream Studio (the browser-based studio) work with StreamTranslate directly?
Not currently — Restream Studio doesn't support custom browser sources, only image uploads. Use OBS + Restream relay as a workaround.
Will subtitles show on all my Restream destinations?
Yes — because subtitles are composited into the video in OBS before Restream sees it, every connected platform (Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, X, Kick, etc.) shows the same subtitles.
Will StreamTranslate work with Restream Chat or Restream's chat bot?
StreamTranslate handles visual subtitle overlays on your video. Restream Chat is a separate feature for unified chat across platforms — different layer, no conflict.
