Kick

Kick uses RTMPS with a personalized ingest URL — unlike YouTube or Facebook, your Kick server URL is specific to your account, so you need to enter both the server URL and your stream key.

Getting Your Credentials

Log into kick.com and go to Dashboard › Stream (or visit kick.com/dashboard/stream directly). You’ll find your RTMP URL and Stream Key on that page. Copy both.

💡

Kick’s RTMP URLs look like rtmps://fa723fc1b171.global-contribute.live-video.net — a long hostname with no path at the end. That’s normal. SignalCaster handles bare hostname URLs correctly.

Setting Up in SignalCaster

Open Settings, choose Kick from the Stream Using selector, then fill in both fields.

Starting Your Stream

Click Start Streaming. The Kick dashboard will show your stream as live once SignalCaster has connected and started sending audio. Kick streams are automatically visible to your followers unless you’ve configured otherwise in your Kick dashboard settings.
