Which platforms can I stream to?
Short answer
YouTube, Twitch and Kick by signing in or with a stream key, Rumble with a stream key, and your own RTMP, RTMPS or SRT receiver.
How each one connects
| Platform | How you connect |
|---|---|
| YouTube | Sign in with Google (recommended), or paste a stream key from YouTube Studio |
| Twitch | Sign in with Twitch (recommended), or paste a stream key from Twitch |
| Kick | Sign in with Kick and paste your stream key once, or paste a stream key only |
| Rumble | Paste a stream key from Rumble |
| Your own receiver | An RTMP, RTMPS or SRT address |
You connect a channel once in Destinations, then choose it when you create a stream.
Kick and your stream key
Kick shares your stream key with apps only while you’re live, so Studio asks you to paste it once, either way you connect. Find it in Kick’s Creator Dashboard under Stream URL & Key. Studio keeps it encrypted.
- Signed in with Kick: Studio sets your title, category and tags each time you go live, and shows when you’re live on Kick.
- Stream key only: no sign-in. You set the title and category in Kick.
Your channel stays yours
Your stream plays on your own channel, to your own audience. You never give us your platform password: sign-in happens on the platform’s own page, and you can disconnect at any time in Studio.
