How do I stream to Kick and YouTube at the same time?
Pairing Kick’s creator-friendly terms with YouTube’s reach and discoverability is a popular combination. Streaming to both at once is easy with a server-side relay — and you get one chat for both.
The simplest way to reach both
Rather than running two outputs from OBS and uploading your stream twice, you publish a single feed to a relay and add Kick and YouTube as destinations. The relay copies your stream to each platform server-side, so your upload bandwidth and frames stay exactly the same whether you stream to one platform or five.
- Publish one feed from OBS, vMix or a hardware encoder to the relay.
- Add Kick and YouTube as destinations with their stream keys.
- Each outbound is supervised, so one platform hiccup won’t take down the other.
Don’t split your attention
With two platforms live you also have two chats. A unified chat brings Kick and YouTube messages into one feed you can read, reply to and moderate together, and show on a single overlay — so you’re not toggling between tabs mid-stream.
Frequently asked questions
Does multistreaming to Kick and YouTube use more upload?
No. With a relay you upload a single feed; the duplication to each platform happens on our servers, so your connection only carries one stream.
Can I see Kick and YouTube chat together?
Yes. Stream Repeater’s unified chat shows both platforms in one feed you can moderate and display on your overlay.
