Step-by-step help for going live on Xive and getting the most out of it.

  • Set up your stream on Xive

    Your stream key, OBS or any encoder, and the encoder, bitrate, keyframe and audio settings to use. Why to avoid AMD hardware encoding, and how to fix common problems.

  • Rebroadcast to Twitch, YouTube and Kick

    Stream once to Xive and send copies to other platforms: one-click Twitch and Kick, YouTube and Facebook by key, plan limits and titles.

  • SRT vs RTMPS

    Which protocol to send your stream with, when SRT helps on Wi-Fi and hotspots, and how to set it up in OBS.

  • Grow a small channel

    How discovery works on Xive, and what moves the needle when you start with a handful of viewers: alerts, Rising LIVE, Shorts, hashtags and community tools.
