Livestream to multiple platforms.
We have been livestreaming from Proclaim through OBS (on Windows 11) to YouTube for months. We've also had a separate Facebook Live Stream (some users find it easier to access). We now wish to stream the OBS output to both YouTube AND Facebook. I can't seem to find any advice at https://support.faithlife.com/hc/en-us/categories/360000510451
I understand something like reStream may be necessary or https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/multiple-rtmp-outputs-plugin.964/
Since our whole AV ministry is done by volunteers, ease of setup would be an essential "Best Practice"
Multiple RTMP outputs plugin
This is a plugin to streaming to multiple RTMP servers concurrently.
It's able to share encoders with main output of OBS to save CPU power.
It can also use standalone encoders with basic configuration (bitrate)

- I did a little more research on the Multiple RTMP Outputs plugin for OBS this morning. I found that if you click the box that says, "Sync Start With OBS" the output begins streaming at the same time. If you use persistent stream keys as we have set up, you can use a MIDI signal from Proclaim to start your stream and it will go to all your destinations.
- Steven Stoops, Your experimentation is Music to my ears!! This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for! "If you use persistent stream keys as we have set up, you can use a MIDI signal from Proclaim to start your stream and it will go to all your destinations."
- Glad I could help David Thomas, set it and forget it is something I've been looking for on this. I'm constantly fighting with Facebook when Vimeo send the feed, but sending it directly from OBS it worked perfectly every time . . . of course now I have a bunch of 2 minute test videos that I have to delete . . . Plus it has the added value of cost, FREE (my favorite price). I think I'll send a donation to the developer, though. It's gonna save me a lot of work and the volunteers may be able to do it when I am out of town.
