How do I restream on OBS Studio?
OBS Studio is the default choice for many streamers, and it works well with a server-side relay. You only need one output from OBS; the relay takes care of sending that feed to every destination you add.
Set OBS to a custom streaming server
Open OBS, go to Settings → Stream, choose Custom, and paste the stream server URL and key from your Stream Repeater stream page. That turns OBS into a single source and keeps the fan-out on the server.
If you want the click-by-click setup panel, Stream Repeater also has a dedicated OBS guide with screenshots in the encoder guides section.
Use stable output settings
Start with a bitrate your upload can hold comfortably, a 2-second keyframe interval, and hardware encoding if your machine supports it. A stable single stream is better than a high-bitrate stream that breaks as soon as you add a second destination.
Add destinations in the relay, not OBS
Your OBS job is to publish one clean feed. Add YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, Kick or a custom endpoint in the relay dashboard, and let Stream Repeater duplicate the stream server-side so your upload stays flat.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an OBS plugin to restream?
No. If you send OBS to Stream Repeater as a custom server, the relay handles the multistreaming instead of a local plugin.
Should I use RTMP or RTMPS in OBS?
Use whichever the ingest endpoint provides. RTMPS is preferred when supported because it encrypts the transport.
