FAQ
The questions that show up after the first stream. The full flow is under How it works.
- What is Nexcast?
- Our multi-stream relay. One OBS target, several platforms. No second encoder, no chat SaaS bundled into the plan price.
- Is the product called Restream?
- No. The brand is Nexcast. The URL is cast.nexus-city.net. Restream is a different company.
- Which plans exist?
- Relay (1 destination, EUR 4.99), Broadcast (3 destinations, EUR 9.99), Network (10 destinations plus custom RTMP, EUR 22.99), monthly net. Checkout shows the total.
- Do I get donations if I only stream externally?
- Yes. Nexus Live is not required. With an active plan or connected destinations you get a public donate page (Stripe). The amount goes to you, Nexus City keeps the usual platform share. Copy the link in the dashboard, for example for a Twitch panel.
- Does my stream automatically appear on Nexus Live?
- No. Default is outbound. The watch page needs a staff unlock. The request lives in the dashboard. Donations still work.
- Which key does OBS get?
- Only the Nexcast key. Twitch, YouTube and Kick keys belong in the destination cards.
- Can I regenerate the stream key?
- Yes, in the dashboard. The old key is dead afterwards. OBS must use the new one or the push goes nowhere.
- What counts against the limit?
- Active destinations, including custom RTMP. Saved keys without Active checked do not count.
- Does Streamlabs or StreamElements work?
- If the software supports custom RTMP: same server, same Nexcast key as in OBS. Overlays stay in your encoder, Nexcast only distributes the feed.
- Why is YouTube delayed?
- Studio often shows live only after one to three minutes. Check the key, do not put the full YouTube server into OBS.
- How do I cancel?
- Through Stripe, like shop subscriptions. After the period ends the limit falls to no plan. Saved keys remain, the push stops.
- Is soft open finished?
- No. Ingest, dashboard and Stripe are up. Stability, more destinations and edges (Kick URL variants, events) ship next. If something breaks: Discord ticket.
- Who can see my stream keys?
- You in the dashboard, the relay server for the push, staff only as far as support needs. Do not paste keys in chat. After a leak: rotate on the platform and on Nexcast.
