# Stream to Twitch 24/7

> Loop pre-recorded video to Twitch around the clock with Streamloop: copy your Twitch stream key, add it as a destination and go live.

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_`.

<Warning>
  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.
</Warning>

## Add Twitch to your loop

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the destination picker">
    In your loop's **General** tab, click **Connect a destination** (or **Add destination** if your
    loop has a destination list).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Twitch">
    Pick **Twitch · RTMP stream key**. Streamloop fills in Twitch's **RTMP URL** for you.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste the key">
    Paste your **Stream key**, give the destination a **Display name**, and click
    **Save destination**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go live">
    Start the loop. Your title and category stay in Twitch: set them in the Creator Dashboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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](/docs/platform/multistream).
