What is Custom and Extra Destination?

Extra destination

Allows you to add an additional channel of the same platform.

For example: 2x Facebook channels or 2x YouTube channels.

Custom destination

Allows you to stream to any custom platform or media server which provides RTMP URL and Stream key via Custom RTMP channel.

For example: Wowza, Vimeo, Akamai.

Let’s review some examples:

You would like to stream to Facebook personal page and Vimeo. Facebook personal page is listed among our supported services and you can stream to it for free. To stream to Facebook personal page and Vimeo you need 1 custom destination. You would need our Standard plan that supports 1 custom destination.

If you decide to stream to 2 Facebook personal pages, Facebook group, YouTube and Vimeo, you would need 2 extra destinations since any additional Facebook channel requires it and you will need 1 custom destination for Vimeo. That would be included in our Professional plan.
