American service for sending livestreams to several channels at once, with a studio and a paid webinar add-on.
Restream is a service from Restream, Inc. of Austin in the US that sends one livestream to several channels at once; webinars are an add-on. Prices are in US dollars only. According to its GDPR page, data is stored on servers in the EEA, with standard contractual clauses for transfers to the US. A data processing agreement (DPA) comes by default with use of the service. We found nothing about Dutch language or support, and we could not establish who owns the company.
