With Stream Targets your station is broadcast at the same time on video platforms: YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, Kick, TikTok, Rumble, Trovo and Restream. Because these platforms need a picture, a still image of your choice, such as your station logo, is sent along with the audio. You can also send the audio to another Icecast or Shoutcast server.

Before you start

• The feature must be in your package. If Stream Targets in the menu has a PRO badge, enable it from your service page in the Client Area (Configuration & Details card). Your package also sets how many targets you can have; the "N / maximum" counter is shown at the top right.
• You need the Stream Key from each platform (see below).
• Prepare a 16:9 (landscape) image, e.g. 1280×720 or 854×480, in JPG, PNG or WEBP, up to 5 MB. TikTok needs a portrait image.
• The station must be playing for a target to start.

Where to find the Stream Key

The Stream Key is like a password: anyone who has it can broadcast on your channel. Don't share it.

New target

1. Go to Streaming → Stream Targets → Add Target.
2. Under Select platform, choose a platform. The RTMP URL is filled in automatically.
3. Enter a Name, e.g. "YouTube channel".
4. Paste the Stream Key.
5. Under Cover Image, upload your image. If you don't, a generic image is used.
6. Click Save. You'll see Target added.

For a platform that isn't on the list, choose Custom RTMP and enter the full RTMP URL the platform gives you, plus the key.

Starting and stopping

1. Make sure the station is playing (Dashboard → Active).
2. On the target's card, click Start. You'll see "Starting…" and then Target Started. The status changes to Streaming and the time (Uptime) starts counting.
3. On the platform, the broadcast appears after 10-30 seconds. On YouTube you may also need to click "Go live" there, depending on your channel settings.
4. To stop, click Stop.

Targets can also be started and stopped from Studio. Whatever plays on your station is sent to the platform: AutoDJ, a live DJ or a restream, without interruption when the source changes.

Editing and deleting

From the card's ⋮: Edit (name, URL, key, image) or Delete. To edit, stop the target first.

Another audio server (Icecast / Shoutcast)

With the Icecast, Shoutcast v1 and Shoutcast v2 options you send your station's audio to another radio server, e.g. a provider that relays your station. The audio is sent as 128 kbps MP3. The field takes all the details on one line:

What's sent, technically

• Video: your image at 854×480 (TikTok: 480×854). If the image isn't 16:9, black bars are added.
• Audio: 128 kbps AAC on most platforms. On YouTube the station's audio is sent as it is, so your station must broadcast in MP3 or AAC-LC, not OGG (Stream Settings).
• If a target puts too much load on the server for several minutes, it stops automatically. The card shows a message starting with "Watchdog". Click Start again.
