Guest Event Stream Request

Request that the Idaho 50501 field team stream your event using their own hardware, pushed out to your platforms. You only need to provide where your stream should go — a person will review your request before anything goes live, and the connection is automatically removed 24 hours after your event ends.

The connection is automatically removed 24 hours after this date.

Add one entry per platform (e.g. YouTube, Facebook). You'll need the RTMP(S) server URL and stream key from that platform's live-streaming setup page.

How to find your stream URL & key

Menu wording changes occasionally on these platforms — if a label below doesn't match exactly, look for "Go Live," "Stream Key," or "Streaming Software" in your account's live-streaming settings.

YouTube

  1. Go to YouTube StudioCreateGo live.
  2. Choose Stream (not Webcam).
  3. Copy the Stream URL (usually rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2) into the server URL field, and the Stream key into the key field.

Facebook

  1. Go to Facebook Live Producer.
  2. Choose Streaming software.
  3. Copy the Server URL and Stream Key shown there.

Twitch

  1. Go to your Creator Dashboard → Settings → Stream.
  2. Copy your Primary Stream key. The server URL depends on your chosen ingest region (e.g. rtmp://live.twitch.tv/app — see Twitch's ingest server list).

Other platforms

Search that platform's help center for "RTMP stream key" or "streaming software setup." Note that some platforms (e.g. Instagram, TikTok) restrict or don't support external RTMP encoders for every account — check your platform's own eligibility requirements before assuming this will work there.
