Important Considerations

• Reach out to the Knorish support team if the MS Teams streaming app is not enabled.
• Streaming live always has a minor delay which could be upto 60 seconds as well. However, the user experience still remains intact as the stream is live for them at that instant. Expect delays in responses from audience due to this.  
• As of Nov 2024, the free Restream plan allows streaming to two platforms simultaneously but adds a Restream watermark. For more advanced features and higher streaming limits, explore Restream's paid plans. For more information, visit the Restream Pricing Page.
