This guide takes you from a video file to a live 24/7 stream. The whole thing takes a few minutes, and your free trial credits cover it — no card required.
You’ll need a video file and a destination to stream to (a YouTube channel, or a stream key from Twitch, Facebook Live, Kick, TikTok, or any RTMP platform).

​
Go live in six steps

1

Create a free account

Sign up at streamloop.app with Google or an email address. New accounts get free credits — enough to run a real stream for a few hours — with no card required. See Billing for how credits work.
2

Create a loop

A loop is a stream you set up once and run 24/7. From your dashboard, click Create new loop, give it a Stream name (for example, Nature sounds), and click Create. You’ll land in the loop editor.
3

Add your video

Open the Playlist tab, and on the Video tab click Upload to add a file (MP4, MOV, or MKV, up to 10 GB), or From URL to import from Google Drive, a YouTube link, or a direct link. Add more videos to build a playlist, or an Audio track to play over the video — see Build and schedule your playlist.
4

Pick your quality

In the General tab, choose a resolution (720p, 1080p, 1440p, or 4K) and frame rate (24, 25, 30, or 60fps). Higher quality costs more per hour — 1080p at 30fps suits most streams. See the price breakdown in Billing.
5

Connect a destination

Still in General, click Connect a destination. Pick YouTube · Connect channel to link your channel with Google, or choose RTMP stream key to paste a key from YouTube, Twitch, or any other platform. See Set up your destination.
6

Go live

When the loop shows Stream is idle, click Start stream. Your video starts looping to your destination within a minute or two. To go live later instead, turn on Schedule loop and enter a time like tomorrow 9am, then click Schedule the stream.
Your loop is live. It keeps streaming 24/7 from the cloud — you can close your laptop and it stays on air.
