Yes, you can stream on OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) to Kick. Kick is a newer streaming platform, and OBS supports custom RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) streams, which allows you to stream to platforms like Kick that may not have a direct integration.
Here’s how to set up OBS to stream to Kick:
1. Create a Kick Account:
– First, you’ll need a Kick account. If you don’t have one yet, go to the Kick website (kick.com) and sign up.
2. Get Your Kick Stream Key:
– After logging into your Kick account, go to the “Creator Dashboard.”
– Look for the “Stream Key” or “Stream Settings” section, where you can find your unique stream key.
3. Configure OBS:
– Open OBS.
– Go to Settings (bottom-right corner).
– Select the Stream tab on the left sidebar.
– In the Service dropdown, select Custom….
– In the Server field, enter Kick’s RTMP server URL: `rtmp://live.kick.com/live` (as of my knowledge cutoff in 2023, but check their docs for the latest).
– Paste the stream key you copied from your Kick dashboard into the Stream Key field.
4. Adjust Stream Settings (Optional):
– You can adjust bitrate, resolution, and frame rate in the Output and Video settings in OBS for optimal streaming quality based on your internet speed and hardware.
5. Start Streaming:
– Once you have everything set up, click Start Streaming in OBS, and you should begin streaming to Kick!
Always double-check Kick’s official documentation or support pages for the latest updates or changes to the streaming process, as platforms sometimes change their configurations.
