Multistreaming
Multistreaming lets you forward your Streamplace stream to multiple platforms at the same time. Instead of streaming only to Streamplace, you can forward your stream to any platform that accepts RTMP input.
Setting up multistream targets
Section titled “Setting up multistream targets”- Go to Settings > Streaming > Multistream Targets
- Click Create Multistream Target
- Enter the RTMP or RTMPS URL from your destination platform
- Optionally give it a name to identify it later
- Click Create
Finding your multistream URL
Section titled “Finding your multistream URL”Different platforms will provide their own RTMP URLs. Some common examples:
- YouTube Live: Format
rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/your-stream-key- Find your stream key at https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UC/livestreaming (click the copy icon in the top right corner of the ‘connect your encoder to go live’ box)
- Twitch: Format
rtmp://usw20.contribute.live-video.net/app/your-stream-key- You can get a valid RTMPS url at https://help.twitch.tv/s/twitch-ingest-recommendation
- Find your stream key at https://dashboard.twitch.tv/settings/stream (your ‘primary stream key’)
Managing targets during a stream
Section titled “Managing targets during a stream”When you’re live, you can see all your multistream targets on the Live Dashboard with their current status:
- Green (Active): Successfully streaming to this target
- Yellow (Pending): Connecting to this target
- Red (Error): Connection failed; check your URL and credentials
- Gray (Inactive): This target is disabled
You can toggle any target on or off with the switch next to its name. Changes take effect immediately.
