StreamLive ProStream a Zoom meeting to YouTube and Facebook together
Send a Zoom meeting or webinar to StreamLive Pro with Zoom's custom live streaming service, and from there to YouTube, a Facebook Page and more: fields and fixes.
Zoom can send a meeting or webinar to one custom streaming server. Point that server at StreamLive Pro and the meeting goes out to every channel you tick: YouTube, a Facebook Page, LinkedIn, a custom server and more, from one stream. In Zoom you use the Custom Live Streaming Service with the Stream URL and Stream key from StreamLive Pro's Encoder card; in StreamLive Pro you tick the channels and keep the Live stream page open.
Every Zoom fact on this page comes from Zoom's own article, Zoom Support: Livestreaming meetings or webinars on a custom site, checked 5 November 2026.
Before you start
- A Zoom account that may live stream. Zoom lists Pro, Business, Education or Enterprise accounts, the Zoom desktop app for Windows or macOS, and an admin who has switched on Custom Live Streaming Service for meetings or for webinars.
- A paid StreamLive Pro plan. Receiving a stream from other software, Zoom included, is on the paid plans; the 7-day trial streams from the browser studio. See the pricing page.
- Channels connected under Connections. Instagram and TikTok need a fresh key before every live (Live on Instagram and TikTok with a stream key).
- A page where viewers watch. Zoom requires a Live streaming page URL. Use the address of your YouTube channel or Facebook Page, for example.
Steps
- Open the Encoder card in StreamLive Pro. Click New stream and choose Stream from software like OBS (RTMP / SRT). Open the RTMP tab and copy the address and the stream key with the copy buttons.
- Tick your channels. In the Channels list switch on YouTube, the Facebook Page and the rest. Give each its own title if you want (Give each network its own title in one live broadcast).
- Set up the meeting in Zoom. In the Zoom web portal open Meetings, schedule the meeting and save it. On the Live Streaming tab click Configure custom streaming. For a webinar the path is the same from Webinars.
- Fill in the three fields. Stream URL: the address from StreamLive Pro. Stream Key: the key. Live streaming page URL: the page where people will watch. Under Resolution you can choose Standard HD (720P) or Full HD (1080P). Click Save.
- Keep StreamLive Pro open. Leave the Live stream page open and in front in your browser. It checks for your stream every ten seconds and, when it arrives, sends it to the ticked channels.
- Start the stream from the meeting. In the meeting, click More in the host controls, choose Livestream, then Live on Custom Live Streaming Service. Zoom opens a browser page while it connects.
- Watch for the detection. Within about ten to thirty seconds StreamLive Pro shows that the stream was detected and sends it out.
- End. Press Stop stream in StreamLive Pro to end on every network, then stop the livestream in Zoom or end the meeting.
If you did not save the settings in advance
Zoom also lets you start without preparing: choose Live on Custom Live Streaming Service in the meeting and fill in the Streaming URL, Streaming key, Live streaming page URL and Resolution on the page Zoom opens. The values are the same as above.
What we have not checked
Zoom's article does not state the codec, bitrate or keyframe interval Zoom sends, and we have not tested a specific Zoom version against StreamLive Pro. Our ingest accepts H.264 video and AAC audio with a keyframe interval between 2 and 10 seconds (Cloudflare Stream: Start a live stream, checked 5 November 2026). Run a test meeting a day before an important event, ideally with one unlisted YouTube channel ticked (YouTube live visibility: public, unlisted or private).
Zoom or the browser studio
If the people on screen can join a link instead of a Zoom meeting, the browser studio may serve you better: guests join from a link, you get lower thirds and layouts, and you see YouTube and Facebook comments next to the player. See How to do a live interview with a remote guest. Zoom suits meetings that already happen in Zoom, with many participants.
What can go wrong
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| The Livestream option is missing in Zoom | The admin has not switched on Custom Live Streaming Service, or the account type does not allow it |
| Zoom says it cannot connect | Copy the address and key again from the Encoder card you have open; no spaces |
| Zoom is live but nothing reaches the networks | The Live stream page was closed or in a background tab, or no channel is ticked. See OBS is streaming, but YouTube and Facebook show nothing |
| Detected, but no picture | See My encoder says it is streaming, but there is no picture |
| The Encoder card shows "On paid plans" | The account is in the trial |
Frequently asked questions
Can Zoom stream to YouTube and Facebook at the same time?
Zoom sends to one custom server at a time. Send that one stream to StreamLive Pro and our servers send it to YouTube, your Facebook Page and every other channel you ticked.
Which StreamLive Pro tab do I use for Zoom?
The RTMP tab. Paste its address into Zoom's Stream URL and the key into Stream Key.
What do I put in Zoom's Live streaming page URL?
The page where viewers will watch, for example your YouTube channel or your Facebook Page address. Zoom requires the field.
Can I use Zoom 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 keep StreamLive Pro open during the Zoom meeting?
Keep the Live stream page open and in front until the stream is detected and the channels show live. The page is what sends the stream to the channels you ticked.
