Things To Keep In Mind
- Depending on the platform, RTMP settings location may vary but the setup will generally remain the same. All you need to do is select the destination(s), copy & paste the Server URL and Stream key from your Talk Studio Stream Forwarding page to connect to a third-party platform such as OBS or Streamlabs Desktop.
- For setup on how to link your broadcast on Zoom as an alternative, please see the articles under Further reading displayed below.
