Streaming with OBS / XSplit #
Alternatively, you can stream using OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). This allows for higher frame rates and improved resolution, providing a more polished visual experience. However, keep in mind that this setup may introduce higher latency (delay) compared to real-time streaming directly through our platform.
For comparison:
- Real-time streaming (like Amazon IVS) prioritizes low latency, ensuring your audience receives near-instant interaction, ideal for live Q&A or gaming sessions.
- OBS streaming focuses on video quality, offering greater customization and control over your broadcast settings but with a trade-off in responsiveness.
Choose the option that best suits your content and audience needs!
To get your stream key, select OBS and click Get Stream Key.
