Production switcher setup

Stream from vMix

vMix can push to a Custom RTMP Server, which is all we ever ask for. Configure one of its three streaming slots with your ingest URL and key, and switch your whole production out to multiple platforms at once.

Step by step

Follow these in vMix — takes about a minute, no PhD required.

Your ingest details

Use these in the fields above. The exact values for your stream are on its page in the portal.

RTMP server rtmp://your-workspace.streamrepeater.com:1935
Stream key your-stream?user=your-stream&pass=sk_live_••••••••••••

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 vMix

A few small tweaks that keep your relays clean and your headaches at zero.

  • vMix has three independent streaming slots — you only need one pointed at Stream Repeater, we’ll take care of the fan-out.
  • Match the Quality preset to your upload headroom; 6 Mbps at 1080p60 is a safe default.
  • Set the keyframe interval to 2 seconds under the Quality cog for platform compatibility.
