So this is like a really important update here. Particularly for anyone that IS multistreaming through BEAM. Up until this point, it's been free with a no fuss sponsorship through companies like
@AlexanderPCS (thank you for everything!) and Logitech. So this will come as a surprise for anyone that doesn't pay attention to email (it was sent), their social media or Discord.
But let me explain something here. Yes, it will be $3.95 a month to multistream through BEAM. That's $47.40 a year to stream to more platforms than you can handle in the first place. BEAM supports over 85 of them from all over the world. Comparing that to what I was paying to use Restream? That was $258 (including state tax) a year to stream to 5 platforms.
You're not going to find a better deal than this as a multistreamer without using your pc and internet heavily. And as part of the FTL testing crew, we are super impressed with how little latency there actually is now. What went from up to 90 second delays is down to 10 seconds or less depending on the platform. For us, this is a good investment.
Starting June 1, BEAM is introducing a new subscription model. Watching streams on BEAM is Free. Streaming exclusively to BEAM is also Free for creators.
Premium cloud multistreaming and unichat is $3.95/month or $45/year, payable with with BEAM Embers or credit/debit card.
