Your ingest details
Use these in the fields above. The exact values for your stream are on its page in the portal.
Your stream key is unique and can be rotated at any time. A separate read-only playback key is provided for previews, so sharing a preview never exposes your publish credentials.
Pro tips for Wirecast
Small tweaks that keep your relays clean and resilient.
- Ensure x264 or hardware encoding is selected under the encoding settings.
- Keep keyframe interval at 2 seconds (or 60 frames for 30fps stream) to match target platforms.
- Wirecast supports multiple canvas settings; match your encoding output size to your canvas.
Recommended encoder settings
Safe defaults that most platforms accept for clean restreaming.
