Benefits of Simulcasting + Set up! 

This week's Drip Tip highlights the benefits of simulcasting and how to set it up on your account.

Simulcasting sends a copy of your Drip feed to other platforms, such as Instagram, YouTube, Twitch, or Facebook, so that viewers can watch it. Because people are watching from multiple channels simultaneously, you'll be able to interact with your viewers on every platform. 

As a result, you can now reach new audiences and increase engagement with existing ones.

What are the benefits of simulcasting?

1. Expand Your Reach. The most significant advantage of Multistreaming is the ability to broaden your reach and broadcast to as many viewers as possible. If you're a new streamer or just getting started, there's no better time to jump in and start growing your audience.

2. It allows you to engage with the community more efficiently. Platforms with multistream functionality, such as Streamlabs Desktop and Melon, make it easier to drive your social media followers to Drip.

3. Each platform has its advantages. Utilize all of the benefits Instagram, Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook have to offer. In addition, each platform has analytics and metrics that you can use to your advantage. Examine engagement across multiple platforms to see if any is more popular, and then zero in on the ones that have the most significant impact on your content.

4. Save Time. Streaming to multiple platforms can help you save time. YouTube, for example, will automatically upload your live-streamed content as a video for your viewers to watch later. This will save you time because you won't have to constantly download and re-upload your content.
