Beamd

Where to find your Kick stream key

The short version, then the thing that catches people out.

Finding the key

  1. Kick issues a per-account ingest URL. Creator Dashboard → Settings → Stream Key, and copy both the URL and the key.
Server URL

Kick issues this together with your key when you create a live event. There is no single address that works for everyone.

Worth knowing

This platform does not publish one fixed address for everyone. It gives you a server URL and a key when you create a live event, and they can change between events. Copy both at the same time, and if a stream stops connecting later, check whether a new event has issued new details.

Using it with Beamd

Paste the server URL and the key into Beamd exactly as the platform gives them to you. Anything that speaks RTMP or RTMPS works, whether or not it is on our list.

Your key is stored encrypted and is never shown back to you, on screen or in email.

Stream 24/7 with your computer off
