A Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) Pull link is a playable link of your live stream, which you can set up as a source on another broadcast. The RTMP Pull feature allows you to play one live stream inside the other. You can have an original stream playing in the background and your graphic overlays with the audio commentary in the foreground.
Some use cases for RTMP Pull:
Embed an RTMP Pull stream into your main live stream.
Combine two or more streams to watch simultaneously.
Switch between multiple broadcasters in one stream.
Monitor your live stream in an MPC-HC video player in real time.

You need at least a Professional plan to use the RTMP Pull feature.
