In order to stream to Restream with a mobile device, you need to use an application that supports RTMP to be able to push your stream to Restream.

Streamlabs is an Android and iOS application that allows you to stream using a Custom RTMP server so it is easily compatible with our platform.

Setting up Streamlabs mobile app with Restream

  1. Start the application and choose Custom RTMP.

  2. Go to your Restream Dashboard, toggle on the channels that you want to stream to, and copy your RTMP URL and Stream Key.

  3. Return to Streamlabs and paste those details into the URL and Stream Key fields, then click Save.

    • In the Name field, you can put "Restream" or any other identifying name you'd like. This is optional.

  4. Click GO LIVE.

  5. Choose whether you want to stream your camera or a screenshare then click Next.

  6. Under the Select a platform menu, choose Custom RTMP Server.

  7. Enter a title for your stream, and a description (optional).

  8. Click GO LIVE.


How to embed Restream Chat on your mobile stream

  4. Click Add a custom item.
