What is an RTMP/RTMPS destination?
RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) is a streaming protocol that allows you to send video and audio in real-time. It’s the same system used by platforms like YouTube, Facebook Live, Twitch, and others to enable live streaming.
So, RTMP destinations are the platforms where you can send your live stream, such as Facebook Live, Twitch, TikTok, and LinkedIn, among others.
Each platform has its own RTMP server URL and a stream key that you need to connect your SPOZZ Live account to them.
What can you do with SPOZZ Live?
- Log in with your artist account on SPOZZ.
- Name your stream and add a description so everyone knows what it’s about.
- Preview your iPhone camera and switch between cameras during the stream if needed.
- Stream simultaneously to:
- SPOZZ (this is always enabled and cannot be disabled).
- YouTube (just log in with your Google account).
- Custom RTMP destinations (like Facebook Live, Twitch, etc.).
