Aeion Cut for Livestreaming
Livestreamers — gaming, IRL, education, business, entertainment — need multi-destination simulcast (one stream → YouTube + Twitch + Facebook + custom RTMP simultaneously), auto-clipping for shorts/clips distribution, viewer engagement analytics, replay capture for highlight reels, and interactive overlays. Aeion's live streaming engine, multi-destination encoder, stream intelligence, and replay capture ship the production, distribution, and clipping side natively — chat moderation, tipping/donations, and channel-point redemptions still run through your existing Twitch/YouTube tools or bot (Nightbot, StreamElements, etc.) alongside Aeion. Replaces Restream + a chunk of Streamlabs Ultra's multistreaming tooling ($100-300/mo).

FAQ
Restream is purpose-built for simulcast; clean UX. Aeion offers same simulcast + everything else (clipping, analytics, archive, post-prod). For pure simulcast Restream is simpler; for full workflow Aeion's integration matters.
Streamlabs is OBS-based with built-in alerts + tipping. Aeion plugs into OBS via WebSocket for production, but doesn't currently handle alerts, tipping, or donations — keep Streamlabs (or a similar tool) running for that layer alongside Aeion's simulcast + clipping + analytics.
Standard RTMP: 5-10 sec total. Low-latency YouTube/Twitch: 3-5 sec. WebRTC: <1 sec (limited destinations). Per-stream configurable.
Multiple stream profiles per channel; switch per game/category. Aeion preserves per-game settings.
Each streamer's OBS pushes to their own Aeion stream; Aeion's live compositor can merge for production layer; or each streams independently to own audience.
Aeion respects platform policies; doesn't bypass music licensing. For music-heavy streams, use licensed services (Soundtrack by Twitch, Pretzel Rocks, etc.).
Browser-based control panel works on mobile; for mobile-source streaming use OBS Mobile or Twitch Mobile App, then route through Aeion via RTMP.
Per-team workspace; multiple streamer profiles; shared analytics; per-streamer billing. Included in the $29/mo flat rate — unlimited team members.
Aeion doesn't currently process donations, tips, or subscriptions — that stays with platform-native tools (YouTube Super Chat, Twitch Bits/Subs) or a dedicated processor (Streamlabs, Ko-fi, Patreon) run alongside Aeion.
Not currently supported — Aeion has no Twitch Helix/EventSub integration, so channel-point redemptions and chat commands aren't captured. Keep a dedicated Twitch bot for that layer.
