StreamLive ProConnect Ecamm Live to StreamLive Pro over RTMPS
Add StreamLive Pro as an RTMP destination in Ecamm Live on the Mac and send one stream to YouTube, a Facebook Page, Twitch and more: fields, settings, fixes.
Ecamm Live on the Mac can stream to any server through an RTMP destination. Add StreamLive Pro as that destination, with the address and key from the Encoder card, and Ecamm's program goes out to every channel you tick in StreamLive Pro. Ecamm stays your production tool (scenes, overlays, guests); StreamLive Pro does the copies to each network, the per-network titles and the Shorts after the live.
The Ecamm steps below follow Ecamm's own article, Ecamm Support: Streaming using a stream key, checked 5 November 2026. Ecamm Live is a Mac app (ecamm.com).
Before you start
- A paid StreamLive Pro plan. Receiving a stream from other software is on the paid plans; in the 7-day trial the Encoder card shows that RTMP is on paid plans. See the pricing page.
- Channels connected under Connections: YouTube, Facebook Pages, Twitch, Kick by sign-in, others by key.
- Ecamm Live installed on the Mac, with your scene ready.
Steps
- Open the Encoder card. In StreamLive Pro click New stream and choose Stream from software like OBS (RTMP / SRT). Open the RTMPS tab. Copy the address and the stream key with their copy buttons.
- Open Ecamm's destinations. In Ecamm Live open Preferences and go to Destinations. Click Add New Destination.
- Choose RTMP. In the window that opens, choose RTMP as the platform.
- Paste the address. Paste the StreamLive Pro address into Server URL. Ecamm's article says it should start with rtmp:// or rtmps://; the RTMPS address from the card starts with rtmps://.
- Paste the key. Paste the key into Stream Key. StreamLive Pro's key stays the same for the broadcast you have open, so you can save it in Ecamm. Leave Provide Login and Password unticked; StreamLive Pro does not use one.
- Tick your channels in StreamLive Pro. Switch on the destinations in the Channels list and keep the Live stream page open and in front. It checks for your stream every ten seconds and sends it to the ticked channels when it arrives.
- Go live in Ecamm. Choose the StreamLive Pro destination and start the stream. Within about ten to thirty seconds StreamLive Pro shows that the stream was detected.
- End from StreamLive Pro. Press Stop stream to end on every network, then stop streaming in Ecamm.
Settings that matter
Our ingest accepts H.264 video and AAC audio, a combined bitrate between 2 and 14 Mbps, and a keyframe interval between 2 and 10 seconds (Cloudflare Stream: Start a live stream). If your Ecamm version lets you choose the codec, choose H.264, not HEVC. Pick a quality your upload holds with room to spare; Upload speed and bitrate for multistreaming shows how to work it out. Because StreamLive Pro makes the copies, your Mac uploads one stream however many networks you reach.
What Ecamm keeps and what moves to StreamLive Pro
When Ecamm streams to an RTMP destination, it no longer talks to YouTube or Facebook itself. So:
- Titles and thumbnails for YouTube and Facebook are set in StreamLive Pro, per channel if you want (Give each network its own title in one live broadcast).
- Comments from YouTube and Facebook Pages appear in the chat next to StreamLive Pro's player (Live chat from YouTube and Facebook in one panel).
- The recording is kept by StreamLive Pro only if you press Record or Keep recording; otherwise it is removed about two hours after the live. Ecamm can still record locally on the Mac.

What we have not checked
We have not tested a specific Ecamm Live version against StreamLive Pro, and Ecamm's article does not say which keyframe interval it sends. Before an important show, run a test broadcast with one unlisted YouTube channel ticked and watch for the detection message.
What can go wrong
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| Ecamm cannot connect | The address or key has a typo or a space. Copy both again from the card you have open |
| Ecamm is live, the networks are empty | The Live stream page was closed or in the background, or no channel was ticked. See OBS is streaming, but YouTube and Facebook show nothing |
| Detected, but no picture | HEVC selected, or keyframes too far apart. See My encoder says it is streaming, but there is no picture |
| Works at home, fails at a venue | Port 1935 is blocked there; the RTMPS address uses port 443 |
| Ecamm asks for the key before every stream | The key was not saved in the destination. Paste it into Stream Key in Preferences |
Frequently asked questions
Can Ecamm Live stream to YouTube and Facebook at the same time through StreamLive Pro?
Yes. Ecamm sends one stream to StreamLive Pro, and our servers send it to YouTube, your Facebook Page and every other channel you ticked.
Which tab do I use, RTMP or RTMPS?
RTMPS. Ecamm accepts rtmps:// addresses, and RTMPS is encrypted and runs on port 443, which venues rarely block.
Does Ecamm Live work on Windows?
No. Ecamm Live is a Mac app. On Windows, OBS or vMix connect the same way.
Can I use Ecamm with StreamLive Pro during the trial?
No. Streaming from other software is on the paid plans. The trial streams from the browser studio.
Do I need to enter the key in Ecamm for every show?
Not while you use the same StreamLive Pro broadcast. If you start a different one, compare its key with the one saved in Ecamm and update it if they differ.
