Set up and manage your stream inputs
Create your Stream Input
Streaming with Recast requires you to connect your broadcasting equipment to Recast, using a stream input method. Recast supports live streaming using two different streaming protocols: RTMP or SRT. Those managing the stream will have a preference.
Once you've determined which streaming protocol you'd like to use, you need to set up the stream input:
- Go to Technical Tools, and click Stream Inputs
- Click the "+ Stream Input" button
- Choose between RTMP and SRT, and then name it in accordance to the event / equipment it'll be connecting to i.e. "World Cup - Pitch 1 Camera"
- Finally, copy all of the information on the details page - you'll need this when initiating the Test Stream in the next step.

RTMP Example:
Managing your stream inputs
Edit name- edit the name of your stream input
Regenerate - If the security key has been compromised, the RTMP Key can be regenerated, which will renew the Stream Key
Delete - If there are two or more inputs set up, the delete icon becomes active. Please note, you'll be asked to confirm this action as it cannot be undone.
Copy: Click to copy the key if you need to paste it into your streaming software.
