Re-stream a past recording
Re-streaming lets you broadcast a recording from your Media Library again, either immediately or at a scheduled time. This is useful for replaying a popular stream or airing older content to a new audience.
How to re-stream a recording
- Go to Dashboard → Media Library.
- Find the recording you want to broadcast again.
- Click Schedule Live Stream (sometimes labeled Restream in the recording actions).
- Fill in the broadcast details:
- Title
- Description
- Thumbnail
- Destinations
- Start time or Go Live Now
- Click Schedule Live Stream.
What happens next
If you scheduled a future time, the broadcast appears in the Scheduled tab and goes live automatically. If you chose Go Live Now, the broadcast starts within a few moments.
Good to know: Re-streaming a recording does not create a new live event from Web Studio or OBS. It uses ApexStream's simulated-live scheduler to play the saved recording through your selected destinations.
