Mux is a developer-friendly video platform for creating reliable, scalable live and on-demand streaming experiences. Perfect for live events, in-app broadcasts, and fully branded platforms.
How to set up your Mux stream
💡 For help with these steps, please follow Mux's guide here.
Log in to your Mux dashboard.
Create an Access Token with the required permissions.
Use the Access Token to create a new live stream via the Mux API. This will generate a stream key you’ll need to connect to Restream.
Copy the stream key.
How to add Mux to Restream
From your home screen, click the Channels button.
Click Add Channels.
Click Mux.
Set a display name for your channel and paste the stream key you copied from Mux.
Click Add Channel.
Your Mux stream is set up - you just need to choose how you'll go live.
