  5. Click New Stream and select RTMP | Encoder.

    💡 If you have already created your RTMP stream, click RTMP Setup on the existing stream card.

  6. Copy your RTMP URL and stream key from Restream.

  7. Go back to Teams and paste the RTMP details into the appropriate fields on the Custom Streaming sidebar.

  8. Click Start streaming and then Allow.

Requirements

  1. If you’re having trouble starting your stream on the Teams app, please try using the browser version instead.

  2. You can only broadcast Teams meetings, not live events. For information on streaming to a live event, please refer to this guide instead.


Monitoring your stream

Once you've initiated your broadcast via Team, you can go back to your home screen on Restream and click View Stream under your RTMP stream card. From there, you can oversee your stream's performance, manage the channels you're streaming to, and keep an eye on viewer counts.

💡 Pull your Teams feed in Studio to take advantage of powerful graphics.
