What it is

Upstream is cloud live-streaming software for browser-based broadcasts, multistreaming, and continuous channels built from uploaded videos. Its browser Live Studio supports guest invitations, screen sharing, scenes, and branded overlays. A stream can be sent to up to 10 of more than 30 supported platforms, including YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Rumble, and Mixcloud, plus custom RTMP or SRT destinations. Upstream can schedule prerecorded videos once or repeatedly, and it can loop video and audio playlists from its servers while your computer is off. The service lists integrations and setup guides for OBS, vMix, cameras, and other workflows. The free plan permits one concurrent stream and 24 hours monthly at 1080p and 30 FPS. Paid plans begin at $30 a month, while one-stream annual billing is $24 a year. The maximum listed resolution is 4K.

Who it suits

Upstream suits creators, podcasters, broadcasters, churches, labels, radio stations, and media companies needing browser-based or cloud-run streams. It also fits users who want scheduled, looping, or multistream broadcasts.

Upstream combines browser production tools with cloud-based scheduling, looping, and multistream delivery. The free tier is limited, while paid plans add streaming capacity and remove the monthly 24-hour limit.
