Multi-platform streaming (simulcasting) sends one produced program to several destinations at the same time — public platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn and Facebook, a branded private page, an embedded player on your site, and a bridge into Zoom or Teams for interactive participants. New York Live Streaming produces the program once and distributes it everywhere your audiences are, with per-destination settings (latency, chat, access) tuned to each.
A typical simulcast plan
| Destination | Audience | Access |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube Live | Public reach + replay | Public / unlisted |
| LinkedIn Live | Professional followers | Page / profile |
| Private branded page | Employees / members | SSO, password or registration |
| Zoom / Teams bridge | Interactive participants | Invited |
Considerations
Each platform has its own latency and chat model, so 'live' isn't identical across destinations. We set expectations and, where interaction matters, nominate a primary platform for Q&A. Public and private destinations are kept clearly separated.
Frequently asked questions
How many platforms can you stream to at once?
Several simultaneously from a single encode — the practical limit is coordination and your goals, not the technology.
Will the stream be perfectly in sync across platforms?
Close, but each platform adds its own latency, so they won't be frame-identical. For interactive Q&A we designate one primary platform.
Can we simulcast publicly and also run a private employee stream?
Yes — public destinations and an access-controlled private page run from the same program, kept clearly separate.
