Multistream is rolling out gradually. If your loop doesn’t show Add destination, or you see “Streaming to more than one destination isn’t enabled for this workspace yet”, it isn’t available in your workspace yet.
With multistream, one loop streams to up to 5 destinations at the same time, for example your YouTube channel, Twitch and Kick. Streamloop encodes the stream once and sends the same picture and sound to each destination.

​
Add destinations

1

Stop the loop

You can only add destinations while the loop is stopped. A live or scheduled loop shows Stop the loop to add destinations.
2

Open the destination list

In the loop’s General tab, find Destinations.
3

Add each destination

Click Add destination and pick a saved destination, or connect a new one. Repeat for each platform, up to 5.
4

Start the loop

Start or schedule the loop as usual. Each destination connects on its own.
A loop can stream to only one YouTube channel. The other destinations can be any RTMP platform. See Twitch and Other RTMP platforms.
While the loop is stopped, each destination’s menu lets you Disable or Enable it, or Remove from loop. A disabled destination stays in the list but receives nothing and costs nothing.

​
What it costs

The first destination is included in the streaming rate. Each extra destination that’s turned on adds a flat fee while the loop is live: $3.50, $6.00, $8.00 or $12.50 per 30 days at 720p, 1080p, 1440p or 4K. The loop’s Costs panel shows the total before you start. See Billing.

​
While the loop is live

You can’t add destinations or turn one back on while the loop is live or scheduled. You can Stop sending to a destination. It goes off the air at once, and the others keep streaming. You can turn it back on after the loop stops. You can’t stop sending to the only destination still on air. Stop the loop instead.

​
Destination status

Each destination shows its own status, and the loop shows a summary such as 2 of 3 destinations live: When a destination turns off after an error, the row says why and what to fix, such as “Check the stream key and any username or password in this destination.” Fix it, and turn the destination back on after the loop stops.

​
Quality across destinations

Every destination gets the same encode, so Streamloop picks settings that all of them accept. For example, if one platform takes a lower bitrate, every destination gets that bitrate. If a destination can’t take the loop’s resolution, the row says so: lower the resolution, or remove that destination.

​
Good to know

  • Onboarding sets up one destination. Add more from the loop’s General tab afterwards.
  • A YouTube destination can also run a backup stream.
