Using with OBS / Streamlabs

OBS is a pretty good piece of free software that will get you streaming from your own computer right away.

• Install OBS or Streamlabs OBS and get it working with your local setup.
• Open OBS Settings and go to “Stream”.
• Select “Custom…” as the service.
• Enter the URL of the server running your streaming service in the format of rtmp://myserver.net/live.
• Enter your “Stream Key” that matches the key you put in your config.yaml file.
• Start the server.
• Press “Start Streaming” (OBS) or “Go Live” (Streamlabs) on OBS.
