StreamLive ProStream a Microsoft Teams meeting to YouTube and Facebook
Send a Microsoft Teams meeting to StreamLive Pro with the Custom Streaming app (RTMP-Out), then on to YouTube, a Facebook Page and more: admin setting and steps.
Microsoft Teams can send a meeting out to an external streaming server with RTMP-Out: the organizer gives the built-in Custom Streaming app an RTMP address and key. Give it the address and key from StreamLive Pro's Encoder card, and the meeting goes out from StreamLive Pro to every channel you tick: YouTube, a Facebook Page, LinkedIn, a custom server and more. Your Teams admin has to allow live streaming first.
Teams facts on this page come from Microsoft's own pages, checked 5 November 2026: the admin article Microsoft Learn: Allow live streaming with RTMP-Out for Teams meetings and events, and for the organizer's clicks an older Microsoft guide, Microsoft Learn (archived): Stream a Microsoft Teams meeting. The archived guide was written for another Microsoft service, so button names in your Teams version may differ slightly.
Before you start
- Teams live streaming allowed by your admin. Microsoft's admin article: in the Teams admin center, Meetings, Meeting policies, choose the policy, under Audio & video set Live streaming to On, and Save. With PowerShell it is the -LiveStreamingMode parameter of Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy. The setting applies to organizers who have that policy.
- A meeting or event, not a Teams live event. Microsoft's admin article says organizers can't stream live events.
- A paid StreamLive Pro plan. Receiving a stream from other software 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).
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).
- 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 Teams meeting and add the app. As the organizer, start the meeting. From the meeting bar or More options, choose to add an app and pick Custom Streaming. If Teams says you do not have streaming permission, ask your admin (see Before you start).
- Fill in the two fields. Paste the address from StreamLive Pro into Stream URL and the key into Stream key.
- Start streaming. Click Start streaming in the app.
- 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 streaming in the Custom Streaming app or end the meeting.
RTMP-Out is not RTMP-In
Teams has two RTMP features with similar names. RTMP-Out, used on this page, sends a Teams meeting out to a server such as StreamLive Pro. RTMP-In does the opposite: it brings a stream from an external encoder into a Teams event. If you came here to bring a StreamLive Pro production into Teams, that is RTMP-In and Microsoft's page Use RTMP-In in Microsoft Teams, checked 5 November 2026.
What we have not checked
Microsoft's current pages do not state the resolution, codec, bitrate or keyframe interval that RTMP-Out sends, and we have not tested a specific Teams 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).
Teams or the browser studio
If the people on screen can join a link instead of a Teams 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. Teams suits meetings that already happen in Teams, inside an organisation. The same steps for Zoom: Stream a Zoom meeting to YouTube and Facebook together.
What can go wrong
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| Custom Streaming is missing, or Teams says you have no permission | The admin has not set Live streaming to On in your meeting policy |
| It is a Teams live event | Live events cannot be streamed with RTMP-Out; use a meeting or event |
| Teams cannot connect | Copy the address and key again from the Encoder card you have open; no spaces |
| Teams streams 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 Microsoft Teams stream a meeting to YouTube?
Yes, through RTMP-Out and the Custom Streaming app, if your admin allows live streaming. Send it to StreamLive Pro and it goes to YouTube, a Facebook Page and every other channel you tick.
Why don't I see the Custom Streaming app?
Your meeting policy does not allow live streaming. Only a Teams admin can switch Live streaming on.
Which fields do I fill in Teams?
Stream URL gets the address from StreamLive Pro's RTMP tab, and Stream key gets the key.
Can I use Teams 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 Teams 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.
