What Is an RTMP Encoder?
An RTMP encoder, such as OBS Studio or vMix, turns your camera and audio into a live stream and sends it to a server.
Why Use an RTMP Encoder?
Use the encoder you already know, keep full control of your scenes and settings, and let the cloud do the sending.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to help you stream from your encoder with confidence.
What is an RTMP encoder?
An RTMP encoder is software or hardware that compresses your video and audio and sends it to a server using RTMP, a streaming protocol. OBS Studio, vMix and Wirecast are common examples. With OneStream Live, you send that stream once and we pass it on to the destinations you choose.
How do I multistream from OBS Studio?
In OneStream Live, open Encoder Streaming and copy your Server URL and Stream Key. Paste them into OBS as a custom stream and click Start Streaming. OneStream Live sends it to your selected destinations, up to your plan’s number of destinations. Full steps, including choosing destinations: OBS setup guide.
Which encoders work with OneStream Live?
We have OneStream Live setup guides for OBS Studio, vMix, Wirecast, XSplit, Streamlabs, Ecamm Live, Zoom and Webex. Webex needs the desktop app and a Webex Starter, Business, Enterprise or Webinars licence. Encoder streams use H.264 video and AAC audio.
Which protocols can I use: RTMP, RTMPS, SRT or WHIP?
On Free, you use RTMP. On Basic and up, you can also use RTMPS (an encrypted connection), SRT or WHIP.
Can I use encoder streaming on the free plan?
Yes. The free plan is $0 forever with no credit card. It streams to 2 destinations at once in 720p, and each encoder session on Free lasts up to 1 hour. Paid plans allow longer sessions.
How many platforms can I stream to at once?
Choose from 45+ integrations. How many you stream to at the same time depends on your plan: 2 on Free, 5 on Basic, 10 on Standard, 30 on Professional and 50 on Enterprise. Extra destinations are available as an add-on (+5 for $10/month).
What happens if my encoder disconnects?
Without a backup stream key, OneStream Live waits up to about 10 seconds for your encoder to reconnect; if it doesn’t, the broadcast ends. On Enterprise, a backup stream key serves as a fallback if your primary encoder stream goes down.
Can I live stream my Zoom meetings?
Yes. Follow the Zoom setup guide to send your meeting to OneStream Live.
Where can I find encoder setup instructions?
In our Help Center: setup guides for OBS Studio, vMix, Wirecast, XSplit, Streamlabs, Ecamm Live, Zoom and Webex. Webex needs the desktop app and a Webex Starter, Business, Enterprise or Webinars licence.
