Broadcasting

The way it works is that you point your Broadcasting software (like OBS) to Owncast and Owncast shows a web page to the world with your stream. Broadcasting software talks to Owncast using RTMP. Use rtmp://yourserver/live as the RTMP destination. By default the stream key is abc123. For broadcasting software without a separate stream key section, one can use the RTMP URL as rtmp://yourserver/live/abc123 .

Embedding

The stream can be embedded like so:

<iframe
  src="https://your.host/embed/video"
  title="Owncast"
  height="350px" width="550px"
  referrerpolicy="origin"
  scrolling="no"
  allowfullscreen>
