Can I stream to Twitch and YouTube at the same time? Won't I get banned?
Each platform decides that, not Corneta — and those rules have changed a lot in the last few years: several of them allow it now, with conditions that depend on your account type or on a contract you signed. Corneta doesn't change any of that, it just sends your signal where you tell it to. Before you go live in two places at once, read the terms of whoever you already signed with. Five minutes now saves you a headache later.
I use Streamlabs (or XSplit). Does it work?
It works. Corneta takes any program that streams over RTMP — just point it at the address the app shows you, same as you'd do with a platform. With OBS you get one extra shortcut: Corneta sets it up for you, and hits play when you press GO LIVE.
Does Corneta replace OBS?
No. You keep building scenes, camera and audio in the program you already use. Corneta picks up from there: it takes that signal, pushes it to the platforms, watches how each one is holding up, and keeps the stream's safety nets running.
I already use a multistream plugin in OBS. Why switch?
If all you want is to send the same video to more than one place, the plugin does the job — and we'd rather tell you that now than after the download. Corneta earns its place when the stream is more than just pushing video out: it holds the stream up when your program crashes (the plugin goes down with it, because it lives inside OBS), puts chat and alerts from every platform in one place, warns you if something private of yours shows up on screen and, at the end, builds a report that cross-checks your machine, your OBS and each platform to say why it stuttered.
Is it really free? Will it turn into a subscription later?
It's free, no sign-up and no trial period. Everything that runs on your PC — multistream, chat, alerts, reports and protections — is open source under the MIT license and stays that way. If something paid ever shows up, it'll be an optional cloud service, and you'll know about it before you install anything.
Will it lag my game? Do I need a good graphics card?
Depends on the mode. Copying the signal from your program costs almost nothing — a modest PC handles it. Reworking the image for each platform puts the job on the graphics card (recent NVIDIA, Intel and AMD ones handle it fine) or, if you don't have one, on the processor, which hits a lot harder. Before you go live, Corneta estimates that load and how many conversions your card can take.
Am I going to need a lot of internet?
Each platform eats a slice of your upload. Before the stream, Corneta measures your connection, adds it all up and helps you pick a setup that fits with room to spare.
Can I send vertical video to TikTok?
Corneta crops a 9:16 out of your landscape video and you pick the framing, with a preview before it goes out. TikTok and Instagram are still experimental because getting in depends on the platform approving you; the same crop works for any vertical RTMP destination.
Is there an overlay I can use in OBS?
There is. Corneta runs a small server on your own PC that serves the alerts and the chat (emotes included) at a URL you add as a Browser Source — just once. Position, size, duration, sound and message limit are all adjustable, and there's a test alert button so you can check it right there.
Which platforms show up in the app?
Twitch, YouTube, Kick, Facebook and any RTMP server you want to add. TikTok, Instagram and X show up as experimental because they depend on approval and on each platform's own way in.
Does it work on macOS or Linux?
Today the download is Windows only. It's built so other systems can come later, but there's no date to announce. If you're on macOS or Linux, the answer is: not yet.
