Connect the encoder you already own.
Every channel's dashboard prints its own settings, ready to paste. RTMP and SRT connect at the city nearest to you; WebRTC goes straight to your channel's server.
The one every encoder speaks
Server rtmp://ingest.video.primcast.com/ followed by your channel's name, then your stream name and login. OBS, vMix, Wirecast and hardware boxes work as they are.
For lines you cannot trust
A stadium's shared uplink or a phone hotspot abroad: SRT recovers lost packets so the picture holds. Each channel gets its own port and passphrase.
From a browser or OBS 30
WebRTC publishing for a guest with only a laptop, at around half a second of delay into your channel.
The Live tab, button by button.
Live or not, and the numbers behind it
The encoder's address, the rate it is sending, how long it has been on air, how much is going out and how many are watching.
The audience as a list
Each viewer with country and player while the stream runs, downloadable as a spreadsheet for your sponsor or your board.
Socials from the same feed
Add YouTube, Facebook, Twitch or a custom RTMP target, up to 5 of them, and turn each on or off mid-show.
Restart, disconnect, new password
Kick a frozen encoder, restart the channel, or issue a fresh publish password and restart so an old encoder can no longer reconnect.
More than one camera on air.
Pro carries 3 live channels and Platinum 10. Each new one is added from the Live tab and arrives with its own name, encoder settings, player, CDN address and viewer limit; the plan's monthly transfer serves them all.
channel on Free and Starter: one show, done well.
on Pro: a main feed, a second room and a spare for rehearsals.
on Platinum: a network of shows, or every stage at a festival.
Live plans side by side.

Questions from first-time broadcasters.
Do I get my own server?
No, and you do not need one: your channel runs on our streaming servers and is delivered by our CDN, maintained by us. When a whole machine of your own is the right answer, we sell dedicated streaming servers as well.
Which plans include SRT?
Starter, Pro and Platinum. Free takes RTMP and WebRTC; on all plans RTMP and SRT enter at the nearest city.
Is there a limit on viewers?
Yes, per channel: 1,000 on Free and Starter, 5,000 on Pro, 25,000 on Platinum. It is enforced on the channel, which is why we can promise it.
Can I go live on Facebook and YouTube at once?
On any plan. Add them as restream targets in the Live tab, up to 5 together, while your own player keeps running.
Will my current stream links still work?
Yes. The addresses you already use keep playing, and the CDN address appears beside them in your dashboard.
