Any platform that accepts an RTMP (or encrypted RTMPS) stream works with Streamloop. RTMP is the standard way streaming tools send live video. The platform gives you two things:
  • a server URL (it starts with rtmp:// or rtmps://), and
  • a stream key, a password that lets a streaming tool send video to your account.

​
Add the destination

1

Open the destination picker

In your loop’s General tab, click Connect a destination (or Add destination if your loop has a destination list).
2

Pick the platform

Pick the platform from the list, or Custom RTMP for anything else. For Facebook, X and Kick, Streamloop fills in the RTMP URL for you.
3

Paste the key

Paste the Stream key (and the RTMP URL if it’s empty), give the destination a Display name, and click Save destination.
If a platform gives you one long URL that ends in the key, split it: everything up to the last / is the RTMP URL, and the last part is the stream key.

​
Where each platform shows its key

For Twitch, see Twitch. For YouTube, see YouTube.
For a 24/7 loop, always use a persistent key where the platform offers one. A key that belongs to a single broadcast or session stops working when that broadcast ends.

​
Good to know

  • Video only. Streamloop sends the video and sound. Titles, comments and audience settings stay on the platform.
  • Quality. YouTube accepts the widest range of video formats. For other platforms, Streamloop sends a widely supported format and keeps within each platform’s limits, so you don’t need to set a bitrate.
  • Several platforms at once. Add up to 5 destinations to one loop with multistream.
  • Stream keys are encrypted at rest and never shown again after you save them.
