General Information
Please find streaming setup information related to YouTube on this page.
Streaming Both Horizontally and Vertically
To stream both horizontally and vertically, at the current time, you need to create two streams on YouTube.
Each stream will have a separate stream key, one for your horizontal output, and another for your vertical output, using the Aitum Vertical plugin.
Server Endpoints
When creating a YouTube output via Aitum Multistream, you will be provided with a server list for YouTube automatically.
You will usually be absolutely fine using the first option in the list.
Stream Keys
To find your stream key for YouTube, please visit your Creator Dashboard.
We plan to have a more in depth guide on managing your YouTube Stream Keys in the future.
Encoder Settings
These settings are generalised. This means if you see
H264, then a GPU specific variant (e.g.NVENC H264) will also be fine to use.
