Direct Live sends your Broadcast screen straight to the internet. With Also stream to, the same picture and sound go to more than one platform at once, from a single encode.
Add a destination
- Set up your main destination first, as described in Broadcast Studio: quality, sound mixer and stream health.
- Open the Broadcast Studio from the Provider tab of the Master panel.
- Find Also stream to and choose Add a destination.
- Choose the platform. For a custom server, enter the Server URL, which begins with rtmp:// or rtmps://.
- Paste the stream key from that platform.
The key is saved and encrypted on this computer. Afterwards it shows as Saved securely. Paste a new key to replace it.
Each destination stands on its own
- Each one connects, reconnects and can fail independently, so a problem on one platform does not stop the others.
- You can switch a destination off without deleting it.
- The panel shows the total upload the destinations need together.
Changes apply the next time you go live.
