FAQ

Supported platform questions

Custom RTMP accepts rtmp:// and rtmps:// URLs. Custom SRT takes an srt:// URL.

Upstream streams to all 37 platforms on this page, and to any other service that gives you an RTMP or SRT URL. Seven are built in. YouTube, Twitch and Kick connect through your account. Facebook and Mixcloud take a stream key. Instagram and Rumble take a server URL and a stream key. TikTok and the rest of the directory connect as Custom RTMP or Custom SRT destinations.

Custom RTMP is how you stream to a platform or server that is not built in, using the server URL and stream key it gives you. Upstream accepts rtmp:// and rtmps:// URLs. In the stream wizard, pick Other, paste both and save the destination. It then streams like any other destination, even for services not listed here.

In this directory, the services that take SRT are business video hosts, developer APIs and self-hosted media servers, such as Vimeo, Mux and MediaMTX. Their cards say RTMP or SRT. Upstream streams to them as a Custom SRT destination: paste the SRT URL the service gives you.

Yes. One stream can go to up to 10 destinations at once, on every plan including the free one. See multistreaming for how it works.
