Multi-Platform Live Streaming Dashboard
Set up, manage, and broadcast to YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram & Twitch — all from one place.
Open Live Stream
Navigate to 'Live Stream' in the sidebar under the Create section. The page has three tabs: Stream Control, Platform Setup, and Stream Stats. Start with Platform Setup to configure your stream keys before going live.
Configure Your Stream Keys
Click the 'Platform Setup' tab. For each platform you want to stream to, toggle it ON and paste your stream key. You get stream keys from: YouTube → Studio → Go Live → Stream Key. TikTok → LIVE Studio → Settings → Stream Key. Facebook → Creator Studio → Live. Twitch → Dashboard → Settings → Stream Key. Stream keys are saved in your browser session.
Use Restream.io for True Multi-Streaming
For the easiest multi-platform setup, create a free account at Restream.io. Connect YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitch to your Restream account. Then paste your single Restream stream key in the Restream field in Platform Setup. This single key broadcasts to all your connected platforms simultaneously — no need to enter individual platform keys.
Start Your Camera
Click the 'Stream Control' tab. Click 'Start Camera' to enable your webcam. Your browser will request camera and microphone permission — click Allow. The preview appears in the large viewport. Check your framing and lighting before going live.
Select Stream Quality
Choose your quality: 720p for stable connections (minimum 3 Mbps upload), 1080p for fast connections (6+ Mbps), 4K for ultra-fast connections (25+ Mbps). Use fast.com to test your upload speed. A wired Ethernet connection is strongly recommended over Wi-Fi for live streaming to prevent dropped frames.
Go Live
Click 'Go Live'. The button changes to show the live duration timer. The preview displays LIVE badges for each active platform, live viewer count, and duration. The stream is now broadcasting to all enabled platforms simultaneously.
Monitor Your Stream
While live, the HUD shows: viewer count (updates every second), duration timer, quality indicator, and which platforms are receiving your stream. If the viewer count appears low initially, allow 30–60 seconds for platforms to index your stream and serve it to subscribers.
End Stream and Review Stats
Click 'End Stream' when finished. Your session is logged in the Stream Stats tab with duration, peak viewers, and platforms used. Use these stats to optimize future streams — longer streams generally accumulate more viewers, and peak viewer counts help identify your best content moments to repurpose as clips.
