How to stream a game to Twitch, Kick and YouTube at once

Stream a game to Twitch, Kick and YouTube at once: OBS sends one stream, StreamLive Pro sends it on, plus chat, upload, platform rules and Shorts of your best moments.

Updated November 5, 2026 · 5 min read

Streaming a game to Twitch, Kick and YouTube at the same time usually breaks in one of two ways: the computer runs three encoders and the game stutters, or the upload line chokes under three copies of the stream. The fix is to send one stream from your computer to a service that makes the copies. This guide shows that setup with OBS and StreamLive Pro, what to expect from the chat, which network rules to read first, and how to get Shorts from your best moments.

How the pieces connect

Your upload carries one stream whatever the number of networks: What is multistreaming, and how does it work?. Sending from an encoder such as OBS is on the paid plans; the 7-day trial uses the browser studio only. How many networks at once depends on the plan: /pricing?lang=en.

Before you start

• Accounts on each network, each able to stream. YouTube must have live streaming enabled on the channel, and the first time can take up to 24 hours: How to go live on YouTube from your computer.
• Kick title and category. Kick says the stream may not start correctly without them: How to stream on Kick from your browser.
• Twitch's rules on simulcasting. Twitch publishes simulcasting guidelines; read them before you stream to other services at the same time, especially if you have any agreement with Twitch (link checked 5 November 2026; Twitch's help pages load their text in the browser, so read the current rules there): help.twitch.tv simulcasting guidelines.
• OBS installed with your game scene ready.

Steps

1. Connect the three networks. Open Connections and sign in to Twitch, Kick and YouTube. StreamLive Pro fetches the stream key from each at the start of every broadcast, so there is nothing to copy. Details: How to stream to Twitch and Kick at the same time.
2. Create a live for your encoder. In Live stream start a new live and choose Stream from software like OBS (RTMP / SRT). Tick Twitch, Kick and YouTube for this live.
3. Copy the address and key into OBS. In OBS, Settings, Stream, choose Custom and paste the server and stream key StreamLive Pro shows: Connect OBS to StreamLive Pro and multistream.
4. Set the output once. One bitrate and one resolution for all three networks. Pick a bitrate your upload holds with room to spare: OBS settings for multistreaming to several networks.
5. Keep the StreamLive Pro tab open. Start streaming in OBS. When StreamLive Pro sees your stream arrive, the open dashboard tab sends it on to the networks you ticked. If the tab is closed at that moment, nothing goes out.
6. Check each channel. Open Twitch, Kick and YouTube on a phone and confirm the picture and sound on each.
7. Press Record if you want the full stream kept. Otherwise it is removed about two hours after the end: Where is my live stream recording?.

Chat across three networks

Be ready for this: StreamLive Pro's chat panel reads YouTube and Facebook (with replies), Twitch and Kick (read only). To answer on Twitch or Kick, keep that network's chat open in its own window or on a second screen, or use a chat overlay tool in OBS. Read what each network allows before you merge chats on screen. Our chat panel: Live chat from YouTube and Facebook in one panel.

What each network expects

Do a ten-minute test stream to all three before your first real one, and watch each network on a phone for a few minutes: picture, sound, and whether the game audio is too loud against your voice.

Without OBS: the browser studio

If you play in the browser or stream from a laptop, the browser studio can share a screen or a window with your webcam on top, and send it to the same networks: How to share your screen in a live stream. For PC games with demanding capture, OBS is the steadier choice; screen sharing from the browser is fine for slower games, card games or talking over a game.

Shorts from your best moments

When the stream ends, up to 5 vertical Shorts are cut from it with captions. Moments are found from your speech (pauses, or a full transcript on Pro and Studio), so a run with commentary does better than a silent one; a great play with no talking can be missed: How the moments for your Shorts are chosen. Review them, and post them to YouTube Shorts and other networks: How to turn a live stream into Shorts. TikTok is posted by hand.

Common mistakes

• Three outputs from OBS. One output to StreamLive Pro is enough; extra plugins add encoders and upload.
• A bitrate your line cannot hold. Dropped frames on all three networks at once: My live stream drops frames or keeps buffering.
• The dashboard tab closed when you start OBS. Keep it open.
• YouTube live not enabled on a new channel. Enable it a day before.
• Linking viewers from one platform to another without reading that platform's rules.

Where StreamLive Pro fits

StreamLive Pro takes one stream from OBS or the browser studio and sends it to Twitch, Kick, YouTube and other networks at once, then cuts Shorts from it. It reads Twitch and Kick chat without replying there, and it does not replace OBS for game capture. Plans: /pricing?lang=en.

Frequently asked questions

Can I stream to Twitch, Kick and YouTube at the same time?

Yes. Send one stream from OBS to StreamLive Pro and tick the three networks. Read Twitch's simulcasting guidelines before you start.

Do I need three times the upload speed?

No. Your computer uploads one stream; StreamLive Pro makes the copies on its servers.

Will I see Twitch and Kick chat in StreamLive Pro?

Yes, read only. The chat panel shows Twitch and Kick messages next to YouTube and Facebook, but you can reply only on YouTube and Facebook. To answer on Twitch or Kick, keep their chats open in their own windows.

Can I use the 7-day trial with OBS?

No. The trial uses the browser studio only. Sending from OBS or another encoder is on the paid plans.

Will I get Shorts from a gaming stream?

Yes, up to 5 vertical Shorts with captions after each stream. Moments with commentary are picked more reliably than silent ones.
