Let's get you connected
Once you have added all the Stream Keys for your chosen platforms you are now ready to add the Casterlabs Multistreamer as a desination in your streaming software.
From the Dashboard you have the option to select the Server to stream to that is closest to you.
You can also Copy your Streamkey from here. If for whatever reason you need to Reset your Streamkey you can also do that from the Dashboard as well.
Resetting your Casterlabs Multistreamer Stream Key will invalidate your previous Key. Once reset, you will need to replace the old Stream Key in your Streaming Software with the newly generated one in order to go live.
Once you have all your credentials set, you are ready to add them into your streaming software of choice.
