Set up your broadcast environment

OBS allows you to configure exactly what you want to show on your stream, and has a drag-and-drop interface for arranging inputs on your broadcast.

See their help articles to get it set up how you wish.

  2. Navigate to the Stream section in the settings menu.

  4. Paste the RTMP URL you copied from Blink into the Server field. These are provided when you add a live stream to your feed post. (Link to top-level help doc). You can find these again on the feed post itself, or in the Post Planner for scheduled posts.

  5. Paste the Stream Key into the Stream Key field.

  6. Click OK to save your settings.

Start broadcasting

  1. Once your sources are set up, click Start Streaming at the bottom-right of OBS.
