Stream your service with OBS, NDI, or go live directly
Send the live output to OBS over NDI or a virtual camera, or skip OBS entirely and push straight to Facebook or YouTube.

Streaming settings live under Settings → Streaming. There are three separate ways to get your live output onto the internet — pick whichever matches the setup you already have.
OBS Stream — the simplest path
- Open Settings → Streaming and turn on Enable OBS stream.
- Copy the URL that appears.
- In OBS, add a Browser source, paste the URL, and set its size to 1920×1080.
This needs no NDI runtime and no stream key — it serves the live output over your local network as a browser-readable feed.
NDI Output
NDI publishes the output as a named source on your network. In OBS, add an NDI Source and pick the name you set here (it defaults to "ChristChant"). NDI needs its runtime installed — if it is missing, the toggle stays off and the panel says so.
- Set a source name if you do not want the default "ChristChant".
- Choose a frame rate — 30fps is recommended, 60fps is available.
- Turn on Enable NDI output once the runtime is installed.
Direct streaming (RTMP) — no OBS required
- Open Settings → Streaming and choose a Service: Facebook Live, YouTube, or Custom RTMP.
- Paste the stream key from that platform's live producer (Custom also needs the server URL).
- Press Go Live. Press it again to stop streaming.
On Linux, a Virtual Camera option is also available — it makes the live output appear as a webcam named "ChristChant" that OBS can add as a Video Capture Device. It needs a one-time v4l2loopback setup shown in the panel, and is not available on Windows or macOS.
