StreamLive ProHow to stream to Facebook and Twitch at the same time
Stream to a Facebook Page and Twitch at the same time from your browser: connect both once with a sign-in, give Facebook its own title, and one upload reaches both.
To stream to Facebook and Twitch at the same time, connect your Facebook Page and your Twitch account to StreamLive Pro once, tick both in the channel list and press start. StreamLive Pro creates the live video on the Page and fetches your current Twitch stream key at the start of the broadcast, so there are no keys to copy. You upload one stream. The Facebook destination is a Page you manage, not a personal profile or a group. The 7-day trial covers this pair: two destinations from the browser studio.
Before you start
- A Facebook Page you manage. You need a role on the Page that lets you go live on it (Meta Business Help: Go live with streaming software).
- A Twitch account. Twitch keeps your stream key in the Creator Dashboard under Settings, then Stream (Twitch Help: Stream key FAQ). With the sign-in connection you do not need to copy it.
- Each site's rules. Facebook and Twitch each have their own community rules and any agreements you signed with them. Check them before you send the same content to both; StreamLive Pro does not decide that for you.
- A StreamLive Pro account. The trial streams from the browser studio to up to two destinations. Paid plans add OBS and vMix as sources and more destinations at once (see the /pricing?lang=en page).
Steps
- Connect Facebook. On Connections click Connect on the Facebook card and sign in on Facebook's screen. When Facebook asks which Pages to allow, tick the Page you want. With several Pages, click Manage pages on the card and pick the ones to use.
- Connect Twitch. On the Twitch card click Connect and approve on Twitch's own screen.
- Set the Twitch title and category on Twitch. They are kept in your Twitch dashboard, not in StreamLive Pro.
- Open the studio. Go to Live stream and choose Browser Studio, or Stream from software like OBS (RTMP / SRT) on a paid plan if you produce in OBS or vMix.
- Add your sources. Camera, microphone, and the game or app window through screen share. See How to share your screen in a live stream.
- Tick both and give Facebook its text. In the Channels list tick the Facebook Page and Twitch. Click the Page to give Facebook its own title, description and thumbnail.
- Go live. Press Start stream. Both start within seconds of each other.
- End. Press Stop stream. The live video ends on the Page and on Twitch. 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.
Two audiences, two chats
Facebook Page comments appear in the chat next to the player, and you can reply from there (Live chat from YouTube and Facebook in one panel). Twitch chat shows in the same panel, read only: to reply on Twitch, keep it open in a narrow browser window, or ask a moderator to watch it. Viewer numbers for Twitch stay on Twitch.
| Facebook Page | Twitch | |
|---|---|---|
| How it connects | Facebook sign-in, Pages you allow | Twitch sign-in |
| Title | Set per broadcast in StreamLive Pro | Set in your Twitch dashboard |
| Chat in StreamLive Pro | Yes, read and reply | No |
| Posting finished videos | Yes, through Publish everywhere | No, Twitch is live only |
With a Twitch stream key instead
If you prefer not to sign in to Twitch, add Twitch (stream key) in the Manual section of Connections. The card accepts a key that starts with live_ and fills in rtmp://live.twitch.tv/app/. The key stays until you reset it on Twitch. Details: How to stream to Twitch from your browser.

Frequently asked questions
Can I stream to Facebook and Twitch at the same time without OBS?
Yes. The browser studio sends your camera, microphone and screen, and StreamLive Pro sends the broadcast to the Facebook Page and to Twitch together.
Do I need to copy my Twitch stream key?
No, if you connect Twitch with a sign-in. StreamLive Pro fetches the current key from Twitch at the start of every broadcast.
Can I stream to my personal Facebook profile and Twitch?
The Facebook connection in StreamLive Pro streams to Pages you manage. Personal profiles and groups are not destinations for it.
Does streaming to both need double the upload?
No. You upload one stream to StreamLive Pro and the copies are made on our servers.
Can I read Twitch chat in StreamLive Pro?
Yes, read only. Live chat in StreamLive Pro reads YouTube and Facebook (with replies), Twitch and Kick (read only). To reply on Twitch, keep the Twitch chat open on twitch.tv.
