RTMP streaming server the baseline that always works

RTMP remains one of the most widely used streaming technologies. A well-built server needs secure keys, access protection, and a direct bridge to cloud production — without improvised field setups.

Why RTMP is still the top choice

Nearly every mobile app and capture device supports RTMP. That makes starting a broadcast simpler and more straightforward, without complex configuration.

Why stream key security matters

Reusing the same key across different events increases the risk of unauthorized access. Create keys specific to each broadcast and rotate them when needed to keep control of your channel.

RTMP ingest and Scene assembly

The RTMP signal arrives at the server as a video Ingest. It does not go straight to platforms; it enters the cloud studio as a source that can be organized into Scenes with overlays, alerts, and full layouts.

Multistream from the cloud

A single RTMP upload from your phone feeds one cloud Ingest. From there, the studio distributes the same Scene to platforms such as YouTube and Twitch, reducing data use and battery drain on the source device.

Connect any device without friction

Send your signal via RTMP and control the full production from the cloud studio.

Questions about RTMP servers

Is RTMP too slow for IRL?
It can add a bit more delay compared to SRT, but on stable connections the difference is usually small. Always test at the broadcast location.
Can OBS Studio send RTMP to the cloud?
Yes. OBS can send the base feed via RTMP to the cloud studio, which handles full production and distribution to other platforms.
Do I need multiple Ingests for guests?
Yes. Each Ingest lets you connect different devices at the same time, making camera switches and source organization easier.
What upload rate works for 1080p at 30 fps?
Around 6 Mbps is usually enough for good 1080p30 quality, as long as the mobile network can stay stable at that rate.
Does YouTube care about the Ingest protocol?
No. YouTube only receives the final output processed in the cloud. The Ingest protocol does not affect the final broadcast.
