Stream from Streamlabs Desktop
Streamlabs Desktop is built on OBS, so it speaks the same RTMP. Choose the “Custom Streaming Server” option, drop in your ingest URL and key, and you are ready to relay.

Step by step
Follow these in Streamlabs Desktop — it takes about a minute.
Open Settings → Stream
Click the cog in the bottom-left, then choose Stream.
Select Custom Streaming Server
Set Stream Type to “Custom Streaming Server”.
Enter the URL
Paste your Stream Repeater RTMP server into the URL field.
Add the stream key
Paste your stream key from the stream page.
Go Live
Click Done, then Go Live. Every enabled destination starts relaying.
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 Streamlabs
Small tweaks that keep your relays clean and resilient.
- Streamlabs overlays and alerts are applied to the single source — they relay to every destination automatically.
- Set Output → Streaming to Advanced for full control over bitrate and keyframes.
- Keep one encoder session: Stream Repeater fans your single output out to all platforms.
Recommended encoder settings
Safe defaults that most platforms accept for clean restreaming.
