How to add a Custom WHIP Channel

  4. Enter the WHIP URL provided by the platform you’re connecting to.

  5. You can also set a display name for your channel. This is optional but helpful if you're working with multiple custom channels, so you can easily tell them apart.

  6. Click Add Channel to save.

  7. Your WHIP channel is set up — you just need to choose how you’ll go live.


Requirements

  • WHIP channels are available on all plans, including Free.

FAQ

What does "Channel doesn't support custom titles" mean?

Custom channels do not support setting titles via Restream, as they are connected manually. You can update your stream's title on the end platform directly.

I didn't set a display name when I added the channel; can I do it later?

Absolutely. Click the Channels button on your Home and click the three dots next to your custom SRT channel. Then, select Edit channel to change the display name. This helps keep your channels organized and easy to identify.
