StreamLive ProHow to stream to YouTube and Rumble at the same time
Stream to YouTube and Rumble at the same time: YouTube connects with a sign-in, Rumble takes the key from its streamer configuration, and one upload reaches both.
To stream to YouTube and Rumble at the same time, connect YouTube to StreamLive Pro once with a sign-in, set up a livestream on rumble.com and paste its Stream URL and Stream Key into the Rumble Live card. Then tick both channels and press start. StreamLive Pro creates the YouTube live for you; on Rumble, the livestream you set up there receives the picture. You upload one stream, and the 7-day trial covers this pair from the browser studio.
Before you start
- YouTube with live switched on. YouTube asks for a verified channel with no live restrictions in the past 90 days (YouTube Help: Get started with live streaming). The first time, enabling live can take up to 24 hours, so do it a day ahead.
- A Rumble account, signed in. Rumble's guide lets you stream as one of your channels or as yourself, and says Rumble works with streaming software that uses RTMP (Rumble Support: How to setup a livestream).
- Each site's rules. YouTube and Rumble each have their own content rules and any agreements you signed with them. Check them before you send the same content to both.
- 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 YouTube. On Connections click Connect on the YouTube card and sign in with the Google account that owns the channel. If the account has several channels, click Manage pages and tick the right one.
- Set up the livestream on Rumble. Go to rumble.com/live, click the camera icon and choose Go Live. Enter a title and description, choose the channel under Stream as, and choose Right now or a later time. Pick the licensing option and click Submit.
- Copy the Rumble configuration. Click Get the streamer configuration. Rumble shows the Stream URL and the Stream Key.
- Add the Rumble Live card. On Connections, in the Manual section (live with a stream key), choose Rumble Live. Paste the Stream URL into RTMP URL and the key into Stream Key, then click Save connection.
- Open the studio. Go to Live stream and choose Browser Studio, or Stream from software like OBS (RTMP / SRT) on a paid plan.
- Tick both channels and fill in YouTube. In the Channels list tick YouTube and Rumble. Click the YouTube channel to set its title, description, thumbnail and who can watch.
- Go live. Press Start stream. YouTube starts by itself; check the livestream page on Rumble to see the picture arrive.
- 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 next broadcast
YouTube needs nothing new: StreamLive Pro creates a new YouTube live each time. Rumble creates a livestream each time you go through Go Live on rumble.com. Before each broadcast, open the new livestream's streamer configuration and compare its key with the one saved in StreamLive Pro; if it differs, open the Rumble Live card and paste the new one.
Planning ahead
Rumble lets you set a later start, up to 24 hours ahead (same Rumble page). In StreamLive Pro choose Schedule broadcast for the same time, tick YouTube and Rumble, and paste the key of that Rumble livestream beforehand. With a Pre-announce, the YouTube event is created at once so viewers can find it early. See Schedule a live broadcast in advance.
What can go wrong
| What you see | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| "RTMP URL and Stream Key required" | One of the two Rumble fields is empty | Paste both from the streamer configuration |
| StreamLive Pro is live, Rumble shows nothing | The key belongs to an earlier Rumble livestream | Open the new livestream's streamer configuration and paste its key |
| Rumble viewers see the placeholder video only | Rumble has not received the picture yet, or the key is wrong | Wait a few seconds, then check the key |
| YouTube does not start | Live is not enabled yet, or the first enable is still within its waiting time | Check in YouTube Studio. See My live stream does not start on YouTube |
| Rumble is live, YouTube failed | One failed destination does not stop the other | Fix YouTube and retry from its red card |

Limits to know
- YouTube chat appears next to the player and you can reply. Rumble chat and viewer numbers are not shown in StreamLive Pro.
- Rumble is a live destination only: StreamLive Pro does not upload finished videos to Rumble. Shorts cut after the live can go to YouTube now or on a schedule.

Frequently asked questions
Can I stream to YouTube and Rumble at the same time without OBS?
Yes. The browser studio sends your camera, microphone and screen, and StreamLive Pro sends the broadcast to YouTube and Rumble together.
Where do I get the Rumble stream key?
After you set up a livestream on rumble.com and submit it, click Get the streamer configuration. Rumble shows the Stream URL and the Stream Key there.
Do I paste a new Rumble key every time?
Check it every time. Each livestream you set up on Rumble has its own configuration, so compare the key and paste the new one if it changed.
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 schedule a YouTube and Rumble broadcast?
Yes. Set the Rumble livestream for a later time on rumble.com, paste its key, and schedule the broadcast in StreamLive Pro for the same time with both channels ticked.
