# Stream via OBS

> Configure OBS Studio to stream into Livepeer Studio using RTMP and the stream key.

[OBS Studio](https://obsproject.com/) is a common choice for broadcasting into Livepeer Studio. Configure OBS with your stream key from a [created stream](create-livestream).

## Get a stream key

[Create a livestream](create-livestream) and copy the **stream key**. The broadcaster enters this in OBS.

## Configure OBS

1. In OBS: **Settings → Stream**.
2. Set **Service** to **Show all...** then **Livepeer Studio**, or **Custom**.
3. For **Custom**: set **Server** to the ingest URL from the dashboard (e.g. `rtmp://livepeer.studio/live`) and **Stream key** to your stream key.
4. **Output** tab: **Output Mode** = **Advanced**, **Keyframe Interval** = **1**.
5. Save and **Start Streaming**.

<Info>
  Use **Keyframe Interval: 1** and disable **B-frames** (`bframes=0` in x264 options) for best compatibility with WebRTC playback. See [Optimise latency](optimise-latency).
</Info>

## Play back

Viewers use the stream **playback ID** in the [Livepeer Player](./playback-livestream) or any HLS/WebRTC player.

## Recommended OBS settings

**Low latency:** Keyframe Interval 1, CRF 25 or CBR, Profile High, `bframes=0`, resolution 720p or 1080p.

**Balanced:** Keyframe Interval 2, CRF 25, no B-frame override.

See [Optimise latency](optimise-latency) for full profiles.
