Outputs & Streaming
Custom RTMP
Stream to any platform that accepts RTMP input.
For platforms without native integration — like TikTok, Instagram Live, Facebook Gaming, or your own media server — DualStream supports Custom RTMP endpoints.
Setting Up Custom RTMP
- Click the Play button in the Toolbar to open the Stream Setup modal.
- Select Custom RTMP.
- Enter the Server URL and Stream Key provided by your platform.
- Choose which canvas to send (horizontal, vertical, or both).
- Click Go Live.
Finding Your RTMP Details
Each platform provides RTMP information differently:
| Platform | Where to Find |
|---|---|
| TikTok | Creator Dashboard → Live → Stream Software |
| Professional Dashboard → Live → Stream Software | |
| Creator Studio → Live → Stream Setup | |
| Custom Server | Your server admin provides the URL |
Common Configurations
TikTok (Vertical)
Send your vertical canvas (9:16) to TikTok via Custom RTMP for a native mobile experience:
- Server URL: Provided by TikTok when you start a live session
- Stream Key: Provided per-session
- Recommended bitrate: 2,500–4,000 kbps
Self-Hosted / Media Server
For restreaming through your own Nginx-RTMP, OvenMediaEngine, or similar:
- Server URL:
rtmp://your-server.com/live - Stream Key: Your configured key
FAQ
My custom RTMP connection keeps dropping.
Check your Server URL format — it should start with rtmp:// or rtmps://. Verify the stream key hasn't expired (some platforms rotate keys per session).
Can I use RTMPS (encrypted)?
Yes. Use rtmps:// in the Server URL field.
Can I add multiple Custom RTMP outputs?
Yes. Each Custom RTMP target is configured independently in the Stream Setup modal. See Multistreaming.
