How EveryCord does it

Multistreaming in EveryCord starts with the outputs: sign in to YouTube or Twitch, or paste an RTMP or RTMPS URL and stream key for Kick, Facebook Live, X or a restreaming service. Then you pick EveryCord in Apple's screen recording controls and confirm Start Broadcast. The game goes out with app audio, your microphone or both.

Up to three outputs run at once, each straight from the device at up to 720p and 30 fps, about 3 Mbps of upload each, and if one drops the others keep running. The Live monitor shows the stream, and on iOS 18 or later Show my camera adds your camera as a small floating window.

Friends join with an invite or invite link: up to three co-hosts on camera from their own iPhones, shown as bubbles over the game. Chat moderation is in the app, clips get a link anyone can open, and a recording stays on the device where the editor and automatic English captions work on it.
