DualStream Relay
What it is
DualStream Relay sends a stream from a PC to DualStream servers, which distribute it to Twitch, YouTube, Kick, and custom RTMP destinations. Twitch, YouTube, and Kick can be connected with one click without copying stream keys. If the connection drops, Disconnect Protection can keep platforms live on a custom standby screen and resume the stream after reconnection. Users can upload the screen viewers see during an interruption. Supported output varies by destination: up to 2160p60 on YouTube, 2K on Twitch with Enhanced Broadcasting, and 1080p60 on Kick, Facebook, TikTok, and custom RTMP. Relay is available on Windows, macOS, and iOS. One Premium subscription also covers the OBS plugin and MCP server. The free Test Drive plan includes instant replay clips with a watermark; Premium offers watermark-free clips, multistreaming, and Disconnect Protection. Test Drive is free. Premium costs $9.99 a month, with the first 30 days free, or $99 a year. DualStream says chat messages are relayed to authenticated sessions in real time and are not persistently stored.
