To stream via RTMP through StreamRooms, you use a fixed server address and your own stream key in OBS or any similar software. RTMP is the most widely supported streaming protocol; almost all streaming software and hardware is compatible with it.
The streamer gets the RTMP URL and Stream Key from the Stream Info panel on the dashboard. These two values go into OBS under Settings: Stream with the "Custom" server option. When the stream starts, StreamRooms detects the connection automatically and takes the channel live.
RTMP has been used in live streaming for over a decade and has the broadest compatibility. For creators streaming from a desktop on a fixed/wired connection, it's both stable and low-latency. Hardware cameras, capture cards and nearly all streaming software support RTMP output.
The Stream Key is unique to your account and hidden by default; it's only shown when you press the "Show" button. If you think your key has been compromised, you can reset it with one click from the dashboard, and the old key becomes invalid instantly.
Your fixed server address is shown at the top of the Stream Info panel on the dashboard, in the RTMP URL field; copy it with the Copy button next to it.
Yes. RTMP and SRT are two independent entry points; both can stay active for the same account, and the streamer uses whichever protocol they prefer.
The Stream Key is hidden by default (masked with dots). Only the account owner can view the real value with the 'Show' button after authentication.
Setup takes a few minutes and needs no extra hardware.
