In today's digital world, live streaming has become an essential tool for businesses, content creators, and individuals to engage with their audiences. With the increasing popularity of various live streaming platforms like YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook, it has become crucial to stream your content on multiple platforms simultaneously to reach a wider audience. This blog will guide you through the process of live streaming to multiple platforms using SRS Stack.
SRS Stack is a powerful and easy-to-use solution that allows you to live stream to multiple platforms with just a few clicks. It also enables you to stream to your own platform or even set up an intranet live stream within your company. Let's dive into the steps to set up live streaming on multiple platforms using SRS Stack.
Step 1: Create SRS Stack by one click
Creating an SRS Stack is simple and can be done with just one click if you use Digital Ocean droplet. Please see How to Setup a Video Streaming Service by 1-Click for detail.
You can also use Docker to create an SRS Stack with a single command line:
docker run --rm -it -p 2022:2022 -p 2443:2443 -p 1935:1935 \
-p 8080:8080 -p 8000:8000/udp -p 10080:10080/udp --name srs-stack \
-v $HOME/data:/data ossrs/srs-stack:5
After creating the SRS Stack, you can access it through http://your-server-ip/mgmt.
Step 2: Publish a live stream to SRS Stack
You can use OBS or FFmpeg to publish a live stream to SRS Stack. You can also set up HTTPS and publish via WebRTC.
Once the stream is published, you can preview it using an H5 player or VLC. Please see How to Setup a Video Streaming Service by 1-Click for detail.
Step 3: Forward to YouTube
To forward your stream to YouTube, copy the Stream URL and Stream key from your YouTube Go live page.
Open the SRS Stack dashboard and click on Scenarios > Forward > YouTube. And click Start Forward in SRS Stack.
