StreamLive ProHow to multistream to X (Twitter) and other networks at the same time
Short answer: take the stream key from X, paste it into StreamLive Pro once (an X Producer source keeps its key), add YouTube, Facebook and the rest, and press Go live. One broadcast reaches all of them at the same moment.
Short answer: to go live on X and on other networks at the same time with StreamLive Pro, copy the server URL and stream key that X gives you, paste them into the X block on Connections, choose X together with YouTube, Facebook or any other connected network in the studio, and press Go live. One broadcast goes to all of them at the same moment. Your plan, or the 7-day trial, sets how many at once; see the pricing page.
What you need
- An X account that is allowed to go live from outside software. X decides which accounts get this. If X does not offer you a stream key, StreamLive Pro cannot go live there for you.
- A stream key from X for this broadcast. X gives a server URL (rtmp:// or rtmps://) and a key in its live producer tools. A source in X's Producer keeps the same server URL and key, so you normally paste them once; a new source has a new key.
- The other networks, connected once: YouTube, Facebook Pages, Twitch and Kick connect with their own sign-in screen. Instagram, TikTok LIVE and LinkedIn Live also use a key.
Step by step
- In X's live producer tools, create a broadcast source and copy the server URL and the stream key.
- In StreamLive Pro open Connections and paste both into the X block. Press Test connection: it checks the address without going live.
- Connect the other networks you want (YouTube, Facebook and so on), if they are not connected yet.
- Open the studio in the browser (or point OBS or vMix at your StreamLive Pro key), choose every destination, and press Go live.
- If X asks you to start the broadcast on its side too, do it there.
How many networks at once
Each plan, and the 7-day trial, allows a set number of destinations in one broadcast. The current numbers are on the pricing page.
You can connect more accounts than that and pick, for each broadcast, which ones go live.
Good to know
- When a saved key is old, the studio says so before you go live, so a broadcast does not start toward a dead key.
- The key is stored encrypted and never shown again in full.
- Streaming to X is separate from posting finished videos to X. This article is about live.
- The same broadcast can become Shorts with captions afterwards. See Shorts from a live stream.

Frequently asked questions
Can I stream to X and YouTube at the same time?
Yes. Paste the X stream key into the X block on Connections, connect YouTube once, choose both in the studio and press Go live. One broadcast reaches both at the same moment.
Why is there no stream key in my X account?
X decides which accounts can go live from outside software. Without a key from X, nothing outside X can stream to it.
Do I need OBS?
No. The StreamLive Pro studio runs in the browser. If you prefer OBS or vMix, point it at your StreamLive Pro stream key and StreamLive Pro sends it on to every network (paid plans).
How many networks can I stream to at once?
It depends on your plan, or the 7-day trial. The current numbers are on the pricing page.
