# How to get an RTMP URL and Stream Key in LIV Hub

> Connecting LIV Hub to Your Streaming Platform 

To live stream with **LIV Camera** to your social platform, you’ll need two critical pieces of information:

* **RTMP Server URL:** The address where your video stream is sent.
* **Stream Key:** A unique code that links your stream to your account. **Keep this key private and never share it publicly.**

In most manual streaming setups, you combine the RTMP URL and Stream Key as a single text entry. For example, for YouTube:

`rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/STREAM_KEY`

Enter this information on the \*\*Connect Socials \*\*page of the LIV Hub. Below are instructions on how to get your Stream Key for the most common platforms.

<Warning>
  **RTMPS is not supported at this time.**
</Warning>

## YouTube Live

**Please note:** You can connect directly to YouTube through the LIV Hub - no need for manual RTMP.

YouTube provides a Stream Key and RTMP URL through its Live Control Room. Select the key that you want to use for your LIV streams.

* **Where to find it:** YouTube Studio → Create → **Go Live** → Stream Settings
* **Note:** You can reuse the same stream key or generate a new one for each event.
* When you enter the RTMP URL in LIV Hub Manual Connect Socials, enter **rtmp\://YOURSTREAMURL/YOURSTREAMKEY**

## TikTok Live

TikTok requires eligibility for RTMP streaming (usually through TikTok Live Studio or Creator Tools).

* If eligible, you’ll see the **“Live Center”** or **“Go Live”** option on desktop TikTok or in the mobile app under Creator Tools. From there, retrieve your RTMP URL and Stream Key.
* TikTok stream keys are unique to each live session — you’ll need to repeat this process every time you go live.
* **⚠️ LIV does not provide a stream key.** Not all accounts have access to TikTok Live.

## Important Reminders

* Always double-check which stream key you’re using, especially if you manage multiple channels or platforms.
