Amazon IVS is ideal for interactive video experiences on your website or application.
How to add Amazon IVS to Restream
First, log in to Amazon IVS using your Amazon AWS credentials.
Go to the IVS page, click Channels and then Create Channel.
Name the channel and set it up - we recommend using the Default configuration.
If you choose Customized configuration, select “Standard” for channel type to enable Full HD streaming. Then select low latency.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Create Channel.
On the next page, scroll down to the General Configuration box.
Copy the ingest server URL and the Stream Key.
From your Restream home screen, click the Channels button.
Click Add Channels.
At the bottom, select Custom RTMP.
Fill in the RTMP URL and stream key you copied, then click Add Channel.
Amazon IVS is now set up - you just need to choose how you'll go live.
