NeverDropLive review
A focused RTMP relay for multistreaming, fallback video, and stream visibility.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
NeverDropLive is an RTMP relay service for creators and teams that broadcast one OBS stream to multiple platforms. It forwards streams without re-encoding and adds automatic fallback video when the source stream drops. The service combines multistream delivery with stream health monitoring, real-time bitrate and FPS monitoring, unified YouTube and Facebook chat, custom thumbnails, and a session audit timeline. It is available on the web and as a self-hostable Docker stack.
A free plan is available, and the product also lists a 14-day free trial. The Starter plan includes one platform relay, fallback video up to 50MB, a basic stream health monitor, and seven days of stream history. Pro adds unlimited platform relays, fallback video up to 500MB, YouTube OAuth auto-broadcast, custom thumbnails per platform, bitrate history graphs, and priority relay servers. This structure suits users who want to start with a single destination and move to broader distribution or deeper monitoring as their workflow grows.
NeverDropLive connects with YouTube, Twitch, Facebook Live, Kick, TikTok, and Discord. Its strongest fit is for broadcasters who already produce an RTMP stream and want routing, fallback protection, and operational visibility without managing separate relay workflows. The self-hosted Docker option gives teams a deployment choice, while YouTube OAuth can create broadcasts automatically. It is less suitable for workflows that require transcoding, stream recording, or protocols beyond the listed RTMP output. Choose it for relay and continuity features; choose an alternative when media processing or archival is central to the workflow.
