FAQ

What does "Use authentication" mean?

Some platforms require that you enter a username and password in order to connect, but this is not necessary for Vimeo and can be skipped upon setup.

Can I use RTMPS instead of RTMP?

Yes, the steps are the same. You would simply input your RTMPS URL instead of an RTMP URL.

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

Manually connected channels, like Vimeo, do not support setting titles via Restream. You can update your stream's title Vimeo directly.
