VLC Restream is a hidden Swiss Army knife – incredibly powerful for free, but don't expect polish or hand-holding. For learning and home use, it’s excellent. For serious broadcasting, pay for something like OBS (free but better UI) or a dedicated restream server.
You need stability for 24/7 streaming, want a graphical drag-and-drop interface, or are planning to go live on social platforms professionally.
