Streaming with OBS Studio (New)

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.



On the Live Manager, hit "External Software" and retrieve the Stream URL then the Stream Key.



Now go to OBS Studio, hit Settings.



Go to the Stream Tab and copy the Stream URL and the Stream key in the Destination menu, Hit OK.


Go to the Output tab, select Advanced as the output mode, and follow the setup below exactly.

One done, this setup will remain the same for all next events.



Then go to the Video Tab and adjust accordingly. Hit OK. You're all set.



In a nutshell, a good roundup for OBS is


  • Resolution: 1280x720 (HD) or 1920x1080 (Full HD)

  • Keyframe Interval (GOP): 2 seconds (set this explicitly)
  • Rate Control: CBR (Constant Bitrate)
  • Profile: Baseline
  • Tune: none
  • x264 Options: threads=6 (optional, improves performance)
