Can I use my own RTMP or SRT receiver?

1 min readUpdated 2 Nov 2026

Short answer

Yes. Add a custom RTMP, RTMPS or SRT destination with a public host name (IP addresses aren’t supported). An SRT receiver must be listening for the connection.

RTMP or RTMPS

Get the RTMP or RTMPS stream URL and key from your streaming service and add them as a Custom RTMP destination. Use a receiver with a public host name that accepts H.264 video over RTMP or RTMPS; IP addresses aren’t supported. Your receiver sets its own format and session limits.

If the receiver only offers rtmp://, use that address; an rtmps:// address needs a valid certificate.

SRT

Add a Custom SRT destination with your receiver’s address. Studio sends MPEG-TS in caller mode, so the receiver must be listening. Put the stream ID and passphrase in the address, as your receiver lists them. SRT can’t be tested ahead of time; Go Live checks it as the stream starts.

Connection details are stored encrypted.
