This guide explains how to configure Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) for
10
+
simultaneous streaming to Streamplace and other platforms using the
11
+
`obs-multi-rtmp` plugin.
12
+
13
+
For basic Streamplace setup with WHIP, including obtaining your stream key or
14
+
bearer token, please refer to the main
15
+
[Start streaming with OBS](/guides/start-streaming/obs) guide before proceeding
16

here.

### Prerequisites
13
19
14
-
- Protocol: WebRTC (WHIP)
15
-
- Audio Encoder: FFmpeg Opus
20
+
To enable multistreaming, you need to install the `obs-multi-rtmp` plugin for
21
+
OBS.
16

-
23
+
- Download the latest release from:
24
+
[GitHub Releases - obs-multi-rtmp](https://github.com/sorayuki/obs-multi-rtmp/releases)
25
+

### Streamplace Output Configuration in `obs-multi-rtmp`
29
+
30
+
When configuring the Streamplace output within the `obs-multi-rtmp` plugin, use
31
+
the following recommended settings for optimal compatibility and audio handling
32
+
during multistreaming:
33
+
34
+
#### Recommended Configuration (WebRTC/WHIP)
35
+
36
+
Using **WHIP with `ffmpeg_opus`** is recommended for stability reasons.
37
+
38
+
- **Protocol:** WebRTC (WHIP)
39
+
- **Server**: https://stream.place
40
+
- **Audio Encoder:** `ffmpeg_opus`
41
+
42
+
#### Alternative Configuration (RTMP)
43
+
44
+
Streamplace also supports RTMP via this plugin. This configuration may be
45
+
suitable if you are also multistreaming to platforms like Twitch that primarily
46
+
use RTMP to avoid an audio re-encode.
47
+
48
+
- **Protocol:** RTMP
49
+
- **Server**: rtmps://stream.place:1935/live
50
+
- **Audio Encoder:** _(Select an AAC encoder)_
51
+
52
+
The image below illustrates where to configure these settings within the
53
+
`obs-multi-rtmp` plugin interface in OBS.
