A 24/7 stream is only useful if it stays up while you’re asleep, at work, or away from your computer. Streamloop runs your stream in the cloud and watches it continuously, bringing it back on its own if anything goes wrong.Documentation Index

Always on, in the cloud
Your stream runs on Streamloop’s servers, not on your machine. There’s no OBS to keep open and no PC to leave switched on — once a loop is live, you can close your laptop and it keeps streaming.Monitoring and automatic recovery
Streamloop checks the health of every live stream around the clock. If a stream stalls, drops, or a destination briefly refuses the connection, Streamloop restarts it and reconnects automatically — usually before viewers notice. Streams run on distributed infrastructure with standby capacity, so a single failure on our side doesn’t take you off air. In practice, Streamloop maintains over 99.9% uptime.We don’t claim a perfect 100%. Platforms like YouTube and Twitch occasionally enforce their own
limits or maintenance windows. When that happens, Streamloop keeps trying and brings your stream
back as soon as the destination accepts it again.
Your credentials are encrypted
Connecting a destination means trusting us with sensitive keys, so we protect them:- Your YouTube authorization and RTMP stream keys are encrypted at rest.
- They’re kept in isolated storage, separate from the rest of your account data.
- They’re used only to publish your stream to the destination you picked — never shared.
If something looks off
Check your destination
Open YouTube, Twitch, or your RTMP platform and confirm it shows an incoming stream. A
destination-side issue (a disabled channel, a changed key) can stop the broadcast even when
Streamloop is healthy.
Check your credit balance
A stream stops if your credits run out. Top up and start it again — see Billing.
