HOW TO STREAM WITH WIRECAST
- Login to your account
- Create a new live stream player or select an existing ones.
- Go to 🎥 Live Studio
- Choose RTMP Encoder as your Source.
- Install Wirecast on your computer.Â
- Open Wirecast and select Output, then Output Settings.

- Give your RTMP Server settings a name. We recommend naming it the same as your stream quality, such as Stream 1080p.
- Now select the Encoding Drop Down List to choose your desired transmission quality such as H.264 1080p.
- We now need to enter the Address by copying the RTMP URL from 🎥 Live Studio and pasting it into the Wirecast Address box.
- With the RTMP Address entered, we'll need to copy the RTMP Key from 🎥 Live Studio and paste it into the Wirecast Stream box.
- You have now created a single primary stream, but don't stop there.Â
- For best viewing experience, we recommend you set up multi-bit-rate adaptive streaming.Â
Set Up A Multi-Bitrate Adaptive Streaming With Wirecast ( Recommended )
To configure adaptive live streaming, you need to send a total of three separate streams, each with different resolution and bitrate.Â
You've already created the primary one. Â Now you need to repeat the above steps and add stream 2 and stream 3.
IMPORTANT! Use the same RTMP URL and RTMP Key BUT add number "2" and number "3" at the end of the RTMP key. ( see below )
EXAMPLE:
Stream 1 ( Recommendation: 1080p with 4-6 mbit/s )
Encoding = H.264 1080p
RTMP URL = rtmp://livecast.webvideocore.net/live
RTMP Key = xxxxxxxxxxxx
Stream 2 ( Recommendation: 720p with 2 mbit/s )
Encoding = H.264 720p
RTMP URL = rtmp://livecast.webvideocore.net/live
RTMP Key = xxxxxxxxxxxx2
Stream 3 ( Recommendation: 360p with 0.6 mbit/s )
Encoding = H.264 360p
RTMP URL = rtmp://livecast.webvideocore.net/live
RTMP Key = xxxxxxxxxxxx3
