What Live Streaming Protocols are Supported?

Last updated on Aug 27, 2026

Streaming protocols define how video and audio are delivered over the internet. In OneStream Live, selecting the right protocol ensures a secure and compatible broadcast.

OneStream Live supports RTMP and RTMPS—both work similarly, but the choice depends on your security needs and encoder support. It also supports WHIP for ultra-low latency streaming and SRT for reliable streaming over unstable networks.

To access the livestreaming protocols, follow these steps:

Steps:

  • From your dashboard, click Encoder Streaming.

  • Select a stream key to begin.

  • Select Stream Keys from the right-hand sidebar.

  • Click Advanced Settings.

  • Click the Protocol dropdown to choose:

    • RTMP: Standard, fast, and widely supported (OBS, vMix, Zoom).

    • RTMPS: Secure version of RTMP with encryption, required by platforms like Facebook.

    • WHIP: Ultra-low latency protocol for real-time streaming.

    • SRT: Reliable, secure streaming over unstable networks.

  • Click Update & Continue to save changes.

  • The Server URL will update automatically.

  • Copy and paste the new URL and Key into your encoder, and you are all set.
