How do I stream on Chaturbate?
Chaturbate is one of the largest live adult webcam sites in the world, and the best broadcasts on it rarely come from the built-in browser camera. Most top performers use external software like OBS Studio instead, for better camera control, overlays, and performance. Here is how to set up OBS for Chaturbate, and how to stream to several adult platforms at once.
Find your Chaturbate stream key and server
Before you open OBS, you need your unique streaming credentials from Chaturbate.
Log in to Chaturbate, head to your broadcast settings, and select the option to stream using external software (like OBS). You will be given an RTMP Server URL and a Stream Key. Copy both values, and keep the stream key to yourself.
Configure OBS Studio for Chaturbate
Open OBS, open Settings, and click Stream. Set the Service dropdown to Custom.
Paste your Chaturbate Server URL into the Server box, and your Chaturbate Stream Key into the Stream Key box. Click Apply.
Under Settings -> Output, set your output mode to Advanced. Set your video bitrate between 3000 kbps and 6000 kbps depending on your upload speed, and make sure the keyframe interval is set to 2 seconds.
Streaming to Chaturbate and other adult sites simultaneously
Many webcam performers stream to Chaturbate, Stripchat, and CamSoda all at once to grow their audience and earnings. The trouble is, running three separate streams from your own computer will crash most home internet connections.
A cloud restreaming service fixes that: you stream to a single ingest point, and the server replicates it and sends it on to all your adult destinations at once, using no extra bandwidth on your end.
