Setting Up OBS for BCKSTG Live
BCKSTG Live uses RTMPS, the same protocol as Twitch and YouTube. If you've streamed before, setup is the same process.
Step 1, Go to Dashboard → Live
Your stream credentials are generated automatically the first time you visit. You'll see:
- RTMPS Server (always visible)
- Stream Key (masked by default, click reveal to view, click copy to copy)
Step 2, Open OBS → Settings → Stream
- Service: Custom
- Server:
rtmps://live.cloudflare.com:443/live/ - Stream Key: paste your key from the dashboard
Step 3, Configure your scene
Set up your camera, audio, overlays, same as any other stream.
Step 4, Click Start Streaming in OBS
OBS connects to BCKSTG. Your dashboard status bar updates from idle (pulsing dot) to LIVE NOW (solid red dot) within a few seconds.
Step 5, You're live
Your fan page updates automatically. Fans visiting your profile see the live player. The LIVE ON BCKSTG badge appears on your social links.
Your stream key is permanent, you only need to set this up in OBS once.
