How to stream on Kick from your browser

Stream on Kick from a browser: connect Kick once so StreamLive Pro reads your stream URL and key, or paste them from the Kick dashboard, then go live.

Updated November 5, 2026 · 3 min read

To stream on Kick from your browser, connect your Kick account to StreamLive Pro once. At the start of each broadcast StreamLive Pro reads your Kick stream URL and key from Kick, so you only tick Kick and press start. If you prefer, paste the URL and key from your Kick dashboard into the Kick (stream key) card instead. Set the stream title and category on Kick before you start: Kick says a stream without them may not start correctly.

Before you start

A Kick account and channel. Kick keeps the stream URL and key in the creator dashboard, under Channel, then Stream URL and Key (Kick Help: How to stream on KICK.com).
Title and category on Kick. Kick says that if you do not set your stream title and category, the livestream may not start correctly (same page). Set them in your Kick dashboard before every new stream topic.
A StreamLive Pro account. The browser studio works on the 7-day trial. OBS or vMix as the source needs a paid plan (see the /pricing?lang=en page).

Steps

Connect Kick. Open Connections, find Kick and click Connect. Sign in on Kick's own screen and allow access, including access to the stream key. The card then shows your Kick channel.
Set title and category on Kick. In your Kick dashboard, edit the stream info.
Open the studio. Go to Live stream and choose Browser Studio, or Stream from software like OBS (RTMP / SRT) if you produce in OBS or vMix.
Tick Kick. In the Channels list tick Kick, plus any other networks for this broadcast.
Go live. Press Start stream. StreamLive Pro asks Kick for the current stream URL and key and starts sending.
End. Press Stop stream. Press Record during the broadcast if you want StreamLive Pro to keep the full recording; otherwise our temporary copy is removed about two hours after.

The Live stream screen: Preview, Program and the channels panel (test account).

Add Kick (stream key) on Connections:

On Kick open the dashboard settings page Stream URL and Key.
Copy the Stream URL and the Stream Key and paste them into the card. A Kick key starts with sk_; the card refuses one that does not. Copy the URL from your own dashboard rather than from a guide, because the address can differ.
Save. The key stays the same until you reset it on Kick. Kick says that after a reset you must update your streaming software with the new key (same Kick page), so paste the new key here too.

What can go wrong

What you see	Likely cause	Fix
"Kick did not provide a stream URL and key for this channel"	Stream key access was not allowed when connecting, or Kick did not return it	Reconnect Kick and allow stream key access, or use the Kick (stream key) card
"Kick authorization expired, reconnect Kick"	The Kick permission ended	Click Reconnect on the Kick card
The stream reaches Kick but does not start properly	No title or category on Kick	Set both in your Kick dashboard and start again
A pasted key stopped working	The key was reset on Kick	Copy the new key from Kick and paste it
A message that the key does not look right	The text pasted is not a Kick key	Copy the Stream Key again; it starts with sk_

Limits to know

Kick chat shows in the StreamLive Pro live chat, read only; if Kick blocks the reading, the chat says so once. To reply, use Kick chat in its own window. Kick viewer numbers are not shown inside StreamLive Pro.
Kick is a live destination only. StreamLive Pro does not post finished videos to Kick.

Frequently asked questions

Can I stream on Kick without OBS?

Yes. The browser studio sends your camera, microphone and screen from the browser, and StreamLive Pro forwards the broadcast to Kick.

Do I need to copy my Kick stream key?

No, if you connect Kick with a sign-in and allow stream key access: StreamLive Pro reads the URL and key for each broadcast. Pasting them is an alternative.

Why does my Kick stream not start?

Kick says a stream without a title and category may not start correctly. Set both in the Kick dashboard. If StreamLive Pro shows a Kick error, reconnect Kick.

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

Yes. Tick both in the same broadcast. You upload one stream and StreamLive Pro sends it to each, within the number of destinations your plan allows.

Can I read Kick chat in StreamLive Pro?

Yes, read only, unless Kick blocks it, which the chat tells you once. To reply, keep Kick chat open in its own window.
