Streamloop streams to Twitch with your stream key. A stream key is the password that lets a streaming tool send video to your channel.

​
Get your stream key from Twitch

In the Twitch Creator Dashboard, go to Settings → Stream and copy your Primary Stream Key. Twitch keys start with live_.
Your stream key gives full control of your channel’s live stream. Don’t share it. If it leaks, reset it in Twitch and update the destination in Streamloop.

​
Add Twitch to your loop

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

Choose Twitch

Pick Twitch · RTMP stream key. Streamloop fills in Twitch’s RTMP URL for you.
3

Paste the key

Paste your Stream key, give the destination a Display name, and click Save destination.
4

Go live

Start the loop. Your title and category stay in Twitch: set them in the Creator Dashboard.

Good to know

  • Twitch ends broadcasts after about 48 hours. Streamloop reconnects before that happens, so your loop keeps running. On Twitch, it shows up as a new broadcast.
  • Video only. Streamloop sends the video and sound. Your stream title, category and viewer counts stay in Twitch.
  • Quality. Streamloop keeps the stream within what Twitch accepts, so you don’t need to set a bitrate. Twitch takes up to 1080p: if the destination says it doesn’t accept the loop’s resolution, lower the resolution in the loop’s General tab.
  • Twitch and YouTube together. Add both to one loop with multistream.
