# Stream with OBS Studio

|| Streaming from OBS Studio is highly appreciated by our clients, as it’s free (open-source software) and allows them to create Dual Streaming Lives, Pre-recorded Lives, or Multi-camera Lives.

||| To stream from OBS Studio, you need to retrieve the Stream URL and Stream Key from the LiveMeUp Live Manager, then copy them into OBS. Follow the steps below.

| On Shopify / LiveMeUp go to Live events and hit Go Live on the event card.
