Notes

Get your streaming information in advance: Create a broadcast or open the live stream management page on your chosen platform to obtain the RTMP URL and stream key.
Follow the platform's stream key requirements: The "optional" label does not mean that every platform allows you to omit the key. Follow the configuration requirements provided by your platform.
Check your stream settings: Choose a resolution, bitrate, and frame rate that meet your platform's requirements and suit your network conditions.
Confirm that the platform is receiving your stream: The RTMP indicator and running timer alone do not confirm successful delivery. If the bitrate remains at 0 Kbps, check your network connection and streaming configuration.
Keep saved configurations up to date: If your platform changes the stream URL or key, tap Configuration on the corresponding card to update it.
