StreamYard currently supports streaming to Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter, Twitch, and Hopin Stages natively. Custom destinations, such as Vimeo or Wix sites, are also supported using a custom RTMP destination, but some features will be limited.

** Hopin Stages/Sessions are scheduled on Hopin, not on StreamYard.
** Hopin sessions are not currently supported natively, but can be connected as custom RTMP destinations.
*** LinkedIn does not support multistreaming to multiple LinkedIn profiles/pages, but can be streamed to alongside other platforms
