Destination

What is it?

A destination is any place a broadcast gets sent to: YouTube Live, Twitch, Instagram Live, Facebook Live, TikTok Live, Kick — or a "custom" endpoint for anything else. In multistreaming products, "destination" is the core noun: the creator produces one show, then picks where it goes.

Practical example

In Restream, a creator's dashboard shows a list of connected destinations with toggles: YouTube ✅, Twitch ✅, Facebook ❌ (off today). They press "Go Live" once, and the same show appears simultaneously on the two enabled platforms. Adding a new platform is just "Add destination → log in → done."

Key things to know (non-technical)

• Each destination has its own rules: max quality allowed, whether copyrighted music is tolerated, how long streams can run, vertical vs horizontal preference.
• A custom destination (manual address + key) is the escape hatch that lets users send video to anything — including platforms you haven't built official support for.
• Destinations are also where each platform's audience and chat live — the show is one, the communities are many.
• The destination list a product supports is a real competitive feature ("Do you support TikTok Live?" is often the first question).

In Tupic Live

For Tupic Live, destinations are the heart of the multicast promise: creators connect their YouTube/Instagram/Twitch accounts once, and every broadcast can fan out to all of them — with a custom-destination option covering everything else.
