Click the “Stream” button to access or change the streaming settings.

The encoder uses Stream Type RTMP for both the primary stream (“Streaming one”) and backup stream (“Streaming two”).

Most of the settings take the default values, except for the following settings which come from YouTube:

• RTMP URL (also known as “Stream URL”)
• Stream Name (also known as “Stream Key”)
• Account: christchurchwinchesteruk@gmail.com
• Password: the Google password for the above account.

The RTMP URL and Stream Name correspond to the YouTube stream’s Stream URL and Stream key, respectively. These can be found on YouTube by previewing a stream (as usual when setting up for streaming).

The stream key, which is the same for both primary and backup streams, is displayed at the top of the preview with a “copy” icon next to it:

The stream URLs are found further down the same page, with “Copy” buttons next to them:

The stream URL is for the primary stream; the backup server URL is for the backup stream.

Once the settings have been entered in the following fields on the Operations tab, click “Apply” and then “Start stream”.
