You can use Playback’s simulcast feature to send your Playback live stream to Twitch.

How does simulcast work on Playback?

Playback uses RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) to broadcast live Playback streams to other platforms. RTMP is a standard protocol supported by many applications, including popular live streaming platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Twitch and Twitter.

Get your Twitch stream key

Twitch provides users with a stream key so they can use streaming software like Playback to create a live Twitch broadcast.

1. Go to Twitch and open your Creator Dashboard

1. Go to “Settings” in the “Stream” section to find your stream key.

1. You can find the best RMTP URL for you from this page: https://help.twitch.tv/s/twitch-ingest-recommendation?language=en_US

Add Twitch as a simulcast destination on Playback

Next you will need to add your Twitch stream key to Playback. You’ll only need to do this once.

1. Go to your Playback room, open the room Settings and go to the Simulcast tab (https://www.playback.tv/playback?m=room-settings&screen=simulcast).
2. Under “Add a destination,” type the RTMP URL and stream key you got from Twitch and click “Add destination” to save it.

Start a simulcast

Each time you go live, you will need to repeat these steps to start a simulcast.
