How to Multi-Stream With OBS for FREE (Stream to Multiple Platforms)

[@MidnightMan]

What platforms will you guys be multi-streaming to?

[@MiyaGamePlayz]

I use restream but it only stream to 2 ..thanks for this!

[@Gaetan.N]

Twitch KZbin kick and tiktok

[@MidnightMan]

@@Gaetan.N careful with Twitch, they might get mad lol

[@Gaetan.N]

@@MidnightMan thank for your answers, what do you mean? I am twitch affiliate, i do not want to mess it up with Twitch

[@JeMuDaA]

Twitch kick tiktok youtube and facebook

[@notzelduh]

thank you so much!!! (if anyone is having trouble with it not popping up when you restart OBS - click "docks" on the top row, and click "multiple outputs")

[@maviron-cu7pj]

bro you just saved me thanks to you i was really struggling

[@DustBoyFN]

still not popping up

[@danieljanuaris9995]

What if server can’t connect??

[@nt3353]

thank u

[@estudioladob]

for me still not popping too

[@ChrisMowers]

you can also use the aitum plugin to setup mutlistream to kick/youtube/twitch ect. You go into the settings and manually change the resolution to say 1920x1080. This will allow you to setup different alerts and such for each stream. so when someone follows you on say twitch, the alert will go off and only your twitch viewers would see that particular alert and vica versa. allows you to get more granular with each stream and customize the experience for each viewer

[@censoredwisdom]

do you know how I could stream a kick or twitch stream onto youtube that’s not mine? live pirating basically

[@NaitBell]

@@censoredwisdom why would you ever dow that 🤦‍♀ grow up. do something useful with your time.

[@censoredwisdom]

@@NaitBell lol there’s kids making $10k/mo doing this. how could you be so ignorant💀 enjoy your 9-5 tho

[@gentletouchpodcast9095]

do you have a video tutorial on this ?

[@GodspowerLearningPersona-tl5ek]

Most straight forward HOW TO ever..! finished a whole curriculum in the introduction part of one class. subscribing bro

[@Alucard5715]

Just a note on the first method. This only uses the alerts you have attached to that scene. So if you want kick and twitch alerts, you have to have sources for both sites. Which i dunno, im not a fan of that. I think id prefer to have alerts be locked to their respective platform. And apparently in the vertical plug in, you can have a horizontal stream for like kick or youtube. He talked about in a multinstreaming video a few months ago

[@Self-Ego]

Direct, clear and Straight fowarded. Subscribed !

[@BIGMIKE360AMUSEMENTS]

Thanks again Midnight Man for your tutelage. I had a stroke over three months ago. I was live-streaming a few days ago and I noticed that my kick and twitter was not live-streaming at the same time. Next time when I livestream, I’m going to use this format. Thanks again for your help ❤

[@MidnightMan]

Right on! And I hope you’re recovering well Mike 🙏🏽

[@BIGMIKE360AMUSEMENTS]

@@MidnightMan I have to focus on what I can do instead of what I can’t do. One day at a time, one step at a time. People die from strokes, God spared my life for a reason. I’m here to share the true story.

[@channelnamaysense]

Oh my God you just saved me from spending $20 per month!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@slashedbeauty]

THANK YOU!! Was specifically looking at how to get vertical streams to cross IG and YT and this was so helpful!

[@MidnightMan]

So happy I could help!!

[@PittysGarage]

Would also be nice to do a video on how to read all the comments from those live streams on one screen! Thanks

[@TrueSchu]

Great informative video question! I cant seem to find the Multiple output dock... is there a way to re add it? Thank you!

[@aidThompsin]

I also can't see it anywhere

[@Boojiefye]

What did you do??

[@aidThompsin]

I abandoned the idea. I have a semi decent following on Tiktok but they're majorly restricting my reach these days so it's not really worth it @@Boojiefye

[@gamerbodkonian]

ok this plug in does not work! i have went to several youtubers saying do this do that. follow everything and obs does not have, and yes it is updated >< this plugin window DOES NOT SHOW UP! HOW DO I GET THIS WINDOW TO P;OP UP IN OBS WHEN INSTALLED IN THE OBS FOLDER? CAN A KZbinR ACTUALLY ANSWER THIS QUESTION OMFG!

[@Miss.Melodie]

having the exact same issue and also have watched like 10 tutorials. It doesn't show up under "docks", either

[@gamerbodkonian]

@@Miss.Melodiei found a solution hundred times better then these youtubers. not a spam thing. look up restream. you can select twitch, and one other stream plateform. if you want 3 sites to stream to, the 3rd one is behind a paywall. since no youtube guide actually works, i had to find a way, and thats what i found. i hope that works. i had used it to stream on kick and twitch.

[@SafeExit420]

I have the same issue any fix?

[@gamerbodkonian]

@@SafeExit420restream.

[@Miss.Melodie]

@@SafeExit420 So mine had updates greyed out on OBS and on Steam said it was up to date--- I realized it wasn't actually up to date on the latest version, it was just being stupid. I had to check it for integrity and manually update it, which was super annoying. Make sure the versions of OBS match with the version of the plugin you're downloading.

[@thebetterflash]

Its funny how i just saw this channel last week and im already learning alot. Thanks

[@MidnightMan]

I’m here to help you guys learn as much as you can! Glad you’re enjoying!

[@paradox_enigma]

@@MidnightMan were really enjoying and at the same time learning

[@uravgsnkrsguy]

Will this work with stream lab

[@prettybutgritty5838]

This won’t apply to everyone but just FYI that using a plugin for multistreaming will require your computer to use more bandwidth and hardware support for each platform you add to stream to. So, if your PC is already struggling with streaming, I would bite the bullet on paying for Streamlabs because their multistreaming is cloud-based so it doesn’t require additional bandwidth and hardware support, no matter how many platforms you add to stream to.

[@LeoCoyote1685]

I do not see the multiple output dock

[@bigdog7541]

same

[@PolishGuy]

Aitum is paid, and the Japanese version is not working no matter what I try to do including the author's own troubleshooting steps.

[@valg.3152]

Love Love OBS now I can use both platforms now yes!!!! Thank you Bro your the best!

[@Shellanomics]

Thank you so much for this! I just shared it on my discord to hopefully bring you more views. Thanks for the simple short video! Happy Streaming in 2024!

[@DhirajTanwarVlogs]

Sorry if you gave it already, but so we have one for multistream from OBS on Linux Mint OS ?

[@jayyBRD]

appreciate it. thanks man. getting started up on streaming, needed the help lol.

[@rohanbhoir5779]

You are awesome brother, i knew how to do multistream but not able to find a tool which can help verticle + landscape stream. Just found here. Thank you. Subscribed 👍

[@orrneryplays]

Short, informative, to the point, and had everything I needed. Thank you!!!

[@Rexyfy]

Liked the video, Question: Im running a 24/7 livestream on both kick and youtube, IT seems after some time, the youtube stream disconnects, but kick stream is still going. Do you know why this is occuring?

[@eizowsky]

where is url twirch live?

[@pacolastra06]

does it work for mac? the vertical multistream?

[@Sinnathan]

Great video! Quick question: Is there anyway to see all of the chats from all the platforms?

[@FurryNonsense]

It's not there

[@MidnightMan]

Check your docks to make sure they are enabled in your OBS and not hidden

[@UrbansYT]

can anyone explain why when i run the RTMP in virus total, it comes up with 12 different flags

[@Xclousive.]

Thank you now I can introduce myself to multiple platforms 🎉

[@240sxkid521]

its not leting me download it

[@Weasel_boy]

I had the extension in my docks it wasn't just up

[@soccakid11]

I'm trying to stream on tiktok and I have 6k followers But I have no idea where to get the streams keys from

[@BeastyxGaming-rawr]

U have to join an agency something I’m trying to do too

[@nniitchh]

Thank you❤

[@FourthWallBreakingOneManArmy]

Thank you, good sir! Because of that plugin, you just saved me plenty of money on multistreaming! I do have a question regarding the vertical scenes, however: I have a plugin known as the Downstream Keyer which allows me to call upon any scene of my choosing to play over the scene I currently have going such as when I need to cue the fail horn because I tilted when I was about to get a Triple Multiball Stack on Ghostbusters pinball or when doing my signature intro. Is there something separate for the vertical scenes? My DSK plugin doesn't seem to recognize the vertical scenes as opposed to the normal horizontal scenes. Thanks a bunch!

[@zuni_chief]

Thank you! 🙏 I just got my TikTok stream key and been trying to find the right settings for multi streaming.

[@RSL_CUTS]

What should be the minimum speed of wifi for multi stream

[@MidnightMan]

15-20 I’d say

[@itsmej0ta]

Great vid, but question. Lets say you want to play music but not get hit with copyright. Can you separate audio track with this plugin?

[@Gaetan.N]

Man your videos are always helpful and straight to point , thanks a lot !! The vertical plugin will be very handy. Is the multistream plugin heavy on your bandwidth I guess?

[@MidnightMan]

It can be, because it’s essentially outputting the same settings as your OBS is. So you’ll want good internet doing this.

[@Gaetan.N]

@@MidnightMan indeed you are correct, if I use the same settings at 6000kbps for Twitch but also for Kick and youtube, it does use 3 x 6000kbps!

[@MidnightMan]

yep, pretty crazy! That's why restream io exists because they will essentially do that on your behalf

[@affifzuhairbinmohammedyusr4174]

Thank you for the video. but could I do horizontal for facebook, and vertical for tiktok using only one laptop? or I should use separate laptop? Appreciate a lot your response :)

[@OmniPlayz_TTV]

After installing nothing happen when after opening and closing?

[@CirphrankGG]

Does this take double the CPU power needed to push out the stream?

[@Asuofficiel]

Hi, does it affect performance to add 3 plateforme ? It gonna take x3 bitrate at least right ? kinda laggy

[@ChrisMowers]

Yes the downside to this solution is, you'll be using double, triple the bandwidth( depending how many site you are streaming too) Encoding will be heavier as well. I have a dedicated stream PC which is built to the hilt for streaming with 1Gb fiber internet and easily does 3 streams at 6000 bitrate and 1080p, but I get not everyone does. This is where those streaming services can come into play. If your PC is on the lower end or your internet bandwidth/upload isn't the greatest. Something like restream would be fine imo. Yes it does cost money, but on the flip your sending 1 stream out. This would be no different than streaming to just KZbin or twitch ECT. Restream does the heavy lifting and streams it to multiple sites which saves a lot on your end of processing and bandwidth

[@drkwamefrimpong]

do you offer training

[@crispynx40]

would the chat combine all the platforms? or just the main one?

[@QuestMaster69]

Hey I had a doubt Kick Mostly keeps making stream offline while multistreaming if the bit rate is higher than 4000 bitrate. Does the error still happen?

[@mephiman024]

This is dope, but is there a plug in to get all the chats from the different streaming services??

[@danzilbenjamin8196]

Awesome tutorial man. Put ur cam as thumbnail easy to remember.

[@KozukiRinVT]

Gonna try this method to multi stream on Twitch, Twitter and Tiktok. Curious question though, on the plug-ins is there a way to edit the stream information like there is the for the main platform? (Titles, Tags, categories, etc )

[@OfficialNugzzCrew]

trying to stream to IG but it's not working for some reason.. is it a display issue maybe that i need to do a vertical stream for ig or something?

[@RonnieRukusTV]

Heyyy! Great informational content as always, my guy. I was doing research to see how Restream works and whether or not it was worth it, lol. You just saved me some money, sir! Do you know if there are any plugins that would let us put ALL of the chat from the different platforms into one feed and maybe color-coordinate them to keep everything distinguishable. I have wicked ADHD and having four different chat boxes open is the absolute fastest way to ensure I get sensory overload and just stop looking at them while I'm streaming, lol.

[@MidnightMan]

Sure thing! Check out social stream docs.vdo.ninja/steves-helper-apps/social-stream

[@PigsTravels]

you can do the same thing with prism live studio dont even need plugins

[@MidnightMan]

So many people sleeping on prism live studio it’s crazy

[@Trip.E]

Is it free tho?

[@Djcirqu3]

is there any risk in getting this? i have it downloaded but a warning comes up on my pc about potential threats if i open it

[@MidnightMan]

It’s completely safe to use

[@MZgamingYT]

can we use the same internet usage for both platform live streaming ? if we gonna go live on YT and FB ?

[@BossModeGod]

Bandwidth you mean? Shouldnt effect it i think?

[@BOTTENEGAMING]

THIS PLUGIN DOESNT WORK, I get failed to connect to server but the main stream works.

[@jaire_george]

OBS keeps crashing when I try start my IG Stream. Any suggestions?

[@anointedgift94]

I wish you would’ve done the Mac version because I’m having trouble

[@24CCM]

i installed this plugin, set up all but my multistream output is always reconnecting and kick says ofline....

[@PrestamosdecasaenNC]

Are you able to stream to two different youtube Channels at once?

[@plaguefxy1226]

i downloaded the program but when i open obs i dont see a multiple outputs plugin

[@crazyfruits1130]

Hey I’m a new KZbinr! And new to gaming. I have a buggy screen on dayz. The gameplay is on ps4. I used obs on my laptop to record it. I have a 4k capture card. Both the laptop and my monitor did not look buggy. When replayed the video back it became buggy. I tried using a video editor but it still was buggy. Do you have any suggestions on how I can fix this issue!!

[@CeretPenyok]

What's the minimum upload speed do I need if I want to multi-stream?

[@Semir_GAMING]

Did you know where can be a problem? I have black screen on twitch and status of live is offline, but twitch says: you’re broadcasting 🤔

[@KaziPlays1]

Hi MidnightMan! I have a quick question? Do I need a URL for Twitch when I'm adding it to the OBS Plugin? If so where is it on Twitch because I can only find the Stream Key. Thanks in advance!

[@ClownNaround]

Same question here.

[@eyedol-handz]

I tried that Vertical plug in twice and it doesn’t work correctly. I have a 2022 MacBook Air M2! And it lags my stream when I use it. I have super fast internet and I tried dropping the bitrate to 3000 nothing works!

[@Hungri_Ungi]

My Mac m1 won’t allow me to download from github, which is strange as I have used it before. Any way around this ? Liked and subbed as this video production is top tier!

[@Hungri_Ungi]

Nvm I had to click “show in finder” on the download and right click open.

[@KattVODS]

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I can't figure out where to put the rtmp file. I don't have "plugins". Tried putting it in something "plugin" adjacent and reopened and now it's logged me out of twitch and I don't have the extra dock, not even hidden in the docks tab. No matter what video I watch I cannot figure this out.

[@HurtFul_TingZ]

When multi streaming, does it kill your resources

[@ChubbieGuY]

Does it take differnt bandwidth for each ?

[@GryzCrowYT]

what a legend, thank you.

[@KingCharlesMMA]

hey i noticed the firewatch background i use the same one how cool

[@MidnightMan]

🔥

[@aSnOoPi]

is this gonna use more usage of internet or its same like a restream service? or even more system usage?

[@Centuryczx]

Awesome Video Midnightman Keep it up!

[@MidnightMan]

Thank you, Century! Really appreciate it!

[@KayoMonei]

Can you play music on twitch and not have it play on the other platforms? Just got the plug in today haven’t tried it but set it up already. Should I use twitch as the main and KZbin and KZbin shorts as the other two. Currently just streaming on KZbin. But want some music in my streams or something to listen to.

[@gflixlive]

Thank you for letting me know this!

[@MrFreedomHD]

Do i get more ussage with this method or same?

[@CryptoVolium]

Thank you. Lifesaver!

[@News13Punjab]

make video for MacBook Air M1

[@galfordfam]

Not me, not even able to find the multiple outputs option.

[@TsunaOfFlames]

This works with streamelements?

[@HeyItsDunn]

i have tried so many different ways to download this but nothing is working im at the point where i dont even think the plugin works

[@Raymundo03]

Quick question, will this work on mac ? especially mac running sonoma and does obs 29.1 allow for screen capturing on mac ?

[@raizino740]

Does this still use the same amount of internet/hardware as one stream?

[@MidnightMan]

No it will require more

[@iGxCarnage]

i close and reopen my obs and i still dont see it anyone know why it doesnt pop up for me ?

[@The_ChiefTee]

Where do you find the Twitch URL and when i go live nothing happens on kick. any help?

[@HITbyP]

What's the best bitrate for multi stream for 2 platforms?

[@Narutoww-ei6nm]

MidnightMan i need help when i add obs-multi-rtmp then when i open OBS i can't see multiple output

[@MidnightMan]

make sure to check your docks, they should be listed there and you can have the plugin visible

[@menachemspielman145]

Great tutorial, but the pulgin shows as being malware on VirusTotal :( Any idea of an alternative?

[@jacobmichaelshow]

Multiple outputs not showing up as an option for me. Not in docks, not anywhere. Updated everything, still a no go. Getting frustrated.

[@BIGMIKE360AMUSEMENTS]

Question: if your multi streaming on twitch and kick at the same time, how can you get your alerts and chats to show up in OBS?

[@sechabatheletsane9784]

I think stream elements is good for that. But that's when it's linked to twitch so you'll see twitch alerts don't know about the others.

[@ChrisMowers]

I posted a comment earlier today. You can aitum to do this. Instead of using it as a vertical plugin, you can change the resolution to 1920x1080 or whatever and than literally set it up like you normally would a stream. I have my obs setup for twitch, with my overlays, alerts ECT on that and aitum has my setup for KZbin, with overlays, alerts ECT specifically for KZbin. Works great! Now for the actual alerts, streamelemets is the way to go

[@CavemanGenetics]

I installed the program from GitHub but when I opened OBS nothing opened up with anything with multiple output…so idk what isn’t working…any help is appreciated! 🙏🏻

[@bahmanpotter0]

thx. is can bee multi screen in obs live to multy server. i mean when i live geme to youtobe i want open live on facebook same time but with deferent screen andold video ...

[@IrvinFeliz]

Hey your streaming setting are small but when I open mine up it’s big and won’t let me save it for your vertical pluggin obs streaming settings any tips ?

[@wuundz]

My targets on the plugin don’t save, when i reopen obs it empties them. I’m on 29.1.1 and so is my rtmp plugin, do you know any solutions?

[@radicalmoderate2730]

Thanks for the Tutorial. Im wondering if there is a way to stream to mutli platforms but then switch the camera or scene from time to time on just one platform. Example lets say I'm streaming to KZbin and Rumble and I discuss a topic that I know youtube will flag me for, I would like to play a warning sign and audio saying "Go watch us on Rumble" or something like that. Is that possible?

[@Killersoul810]

I stream from my mac book pro which should i use?

[@GuacCado]

Does it lag a lot more

[@MidnightMan]

Depends on the computer you have

[@nathanivannabernard6090]

I can’t see the one multi ramp even after downloading the plugin to my obs.

[@RiskyWhy]

i dont think this worked for me. i followed fine but he docks are not showing
