Stream from OBS Studio
OBS Studio publishes over RTMP to any custom server, which suits us fine. Point its Custom service at your ingest server, paste your stream key, and OBS feeds one source that we relay everywhere.

Step by step
Follow these in OBS Studio — takes about a minute, no PhD required.
Open Stream settings
In OBS, go to Settings → Stream.
Pick the Custom service
Set Service to “Custom…” so you can enter your own server.
Enter your server
Paste your Stream Repeater RTMP server URL into the Server field.
Paste your stream key
Copy the stream key from your stream page and paste it into Stream Key.
Start Streaming
Click OK, then Start Streaming — every destination goes live within seconds.
Your ingest details
Use these in the fields above. The exact values for your stream are on its page in the portal.
Your stream key is unique and can be rotated any time you fancy. A separate read-only playback key handles previews, so sharing one never exposes your publish credentials.
Pro tips for OBS
A few small tweaks that keep your relays clean and your headaches at zero.
- In Settings → Output, set Output Mode to Advanced to control bitrate and keyframe interval.
- Use a 2-second keyframe interval — most platforms insist on it for a clean relay.
- Hardware encoders (NVENC / QuickSync / AMD) free up CPU for higher quality at the same bitrate.
Recommended encoder settings
Safe defaults that most platforms happily accept for clean restreaming.
| Video codec | H.264 (x264 or hardware) |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 1920×1080 (or 1280×720) |
| Frame rate | 30 or 60 fps |
| Bitrate | 4,500–6,000 kbps |
| Keyframe interval | 2 seconds |
| Audio | AAC, 160 kbps, 44.1 kHz |
Other encoder guides
Stream from another app? Same idea, different menu.
Stream once. Reach everywhere.
Connect OBS Studio to one Stream Repeater source and we'll relay it to every platform you need.
