How do I stream on Stripchat?
Stripchat is a leading live webcam platform. Performers can enhance their stream quality by using external encoders like OBS Studio. Let's look at how to get your RTMP URL and stream key, configure OBS, and broadcast to Stripchat alongside other platforms.
Retrieve your Stripchat stream key
To connect OBS to Stripchat, you need the server URL and stream key from your performer account.
Log in to your Stripchat performer dashboard, navigate to your broadcast settings, and select OBS/Streaming Software. Copy the RTMP stream URL and key provided.
Configure your OBS settings
In OBS, navigate to Settings -> Stream and choose Custom. Paste the Stripchat server URL and stream key.
Set your output mode to Advanced, using H.264 video encoding. Stripchat recommends a video bitrate of 3000-6000 kbps, audio bitrate of 128 kbps, and a keyframe interval of 2 seconds for a smooth broadcast.
Restream to Stripchat and other webcam sites
Webcam broadcasters often stream to Stripchat, Chaturbate, and MyFreeCams simultaneously to double or triple their viewer count.
A cloud restreaming service lets you upload one stream to a relay server, which splits the signal to all destinations in the cloud. This saves you from having to purchase an expensive high-upload internet connection.
