Chat Aggregation

What is it?

Chat aggregation is merging the live chats from every simulcast destination into one combined feed. When a show streams to YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook at once, the audience is split across three separate chat rooms — aggregation pulls all their messages into a single stream the host can actually follow.

Practical example

A host simulcasts to three platforms. Without aggregation, they'd need three browser tabs open, eyes ping-ponging between them — and inevitably a great question on Facebook dies unseen while they read Twitch. With aggregation (the flagship feature of Restream's chat), one panel shows everything: "🟣 Twitch — Ali: great point!" followed by "🔴 YouTube — Sara: what app is that?" The host reads one feed, replies on air, and every community feels seen.

Key things to know (non-technical)

• It solves the attention split that simulcasting itself creates — multistreaming without it means neglecting most of your audience.
• Each message keeps its platform badge, so the host knows where a viewer lives.
• The advanced version replies back: type once in the unified box, the answer posts to all platform chats.
• It depends on platform API integrations — chat can only be pulled from officially connected destinations.

In Tupic Live

Aggregated chat is the natural companion to Tupic Live's simulcast core: one combined feed (readable on the broadcast phone or a second device) so a creator streaming to four platforms still runs one conversation — and pinned comments can be picked from any platform's audience.
