You need a video file and a destination to stream to: a YouTube channel, or a stream key
from Twitch, Facebook, Kick, X, TikTok or any other RTMP platform.
- Pre-recorded video loops play your uploaded videos on repeat, at up to 4K 60fps. This guide covers them.
- Scene loops are live shows you design in the studio, with live inputs, web pages and overlays. Scenes are in private beta. See Scenes.
Your first stream
When you sign up at streamloop.app, Streamloop walks you through your first loop step by step. You pick the type, a name and a destination, connect the destination, pick the quality, add your media and choose how to pay. The steps below follow the same path from the dashboard, for your next loops.1
Create a loop
On the Loops page, click New loop. Enter a Loop name (for example
Nature sounds)
and pick a Resolution and Framerate (24, 30 or 60 fps). If you see a choice between
Pre-recorded video and Scene, click Choose video. Otherwise click Create loop.
The loop opens on its Playlist tab.2
Add your video
On Video, click Upload to add a file (MP4, MOV or MKV, up to 1.5 GB on a free account
or 5 GB once you’ve paid), or From URL to import from Google Drive, YouTube or a direct
link. Add more videos to build a playlist, or add an Audio track to play over the video.
See Build and schedule your playlist.

Connect a destination
Open the General tab. Under Destination, click Connect a destination. Pick
YouTube · Connect channel to link your channel with Google, or pick a platform (or
Custom RTMP) and paste its stream key. See YouTube,
Twitch and Other RTMP platforms.

Check the quality
Still in General, Output quality shows the resolution (720p, 1080p, 1440p or 2160p (4K))
and frame rate (24, 25, 30 or 60 fps). Higher quality costs more per hour, and 1080p at 30fps
suits most streams. Streamloop also streams HDR video when your destination supports it. See
Billing for prices.

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, turn on Schedule loop, enter a
time like
tomorrow 9am, and 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.
Streaming uses credits from your balance. To try Streamloop, start a monthly plan with a $1
