RTMP / RTMPS live output

Configure one destination and understand the FFmpeg relay workflow.

Prepare destination credentials

  1. 1Open the destination platform's encoder/live setup.
  2. 2Copy the current RTMP/RTMPS server URL and stream key.
  3. 3In SStream, open Dashboard → Go Live Studio.
  4. 4Choose the preset or Custom RTMP and enter the credentials.
  5. 5Choose a resolution/bitrate within your package.
  6. 6Enter the studio, confirm Program, then start the relay.

One destination per broadcast

Important: The current production release supports one RTMP/RTMPS destination per broadcast. Simultaneous multi-destination fan-out is a future backend milestone.

If the relay fails

Stream keys can expire or be tied to a specific event. Copy a fresh key and verify the destination is accepting an external encoder before assuming SStream or FFmpeg is unavailable.
