Restream to Social Platforms

RealtimeKit can restream your meeting to any platform that supports an RTMP endpoint, such as YouTube, Twitch, or LinkedIn.

Prerequisites​

Step 1: Initiate meeting recording​

To enable restreaming of a RealtimeKit meeting, you will first need to start recording the meeting. In the Start recording a meeting API, provide the meeting_id of the meeting you wish to restream.

Step 2: Configure restreaming settings​

In the same Start recording a meeting API, configure the restreaming settings.

Specify the desired RTMP input URL and stream key where you want the meeting video to be streamed.

Note

Your stream key is generated when creating a livestream.

For example, if you want to stream it to restream.io, do the following:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://rtk.realtime.cloudflare.com/v2/recordings \
  --header 'Authorization: Basic <api_authorization_token>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "meeting_id":"<meeting_id>",
    "rtmp_out_config": {
        "rtmp_url": "rtmp://live.restream.io/live/your-stream-key"
    }
}'

You may notice a few seconds of lag between the meeting and the stream.
