Key features​

  • Simultaneous streaming support: Supports connections to up to 3 external platforms per live channel.
  • Standard protocol support: Compatible with most external platforms that support RTMP/RTMPS protocols.
  • Independent control: You can individually configure streaming for each external platform.

Syndication settings path​

The settings menu for external platform integration is located on the channel details page or the channel edit page.

  • Method 1 (details page): Kollus Live console > [Channel] > [Channel list] > Click the target channel name > [Syndication] tab
  • Method 2 (edit page): Kollus Live console > [Channel] > [Channel list] > Click [Edit] on the right side of the target channel > [Syndication] tab at the bottom

⚠️ Caution​

  • Security notice: If the stream key is exposed externally, others may broadcast unauthorized content using that account, so handle it with care.
  • Information updates: Depending on the social media platform's policy, the server URL and stream key may change with each broadcast. Always check and update the latest information before starting a broadcast.
  • Broadcast scheduling: Some platforms may require a stream time reservation option, so refer to the platform's guide.
  • Integration verification: Once streaming starts from the encoder, monitor whether the broadcast signal is successfully reaching not only the Kollus channel but also the external platforms you have added.
