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). Streamloop also supports HDR video. Your destination and playback
devices must support HDR for viewers to see it. 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 RTMP platform.
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.
