==WebRTC==
Stream with high quality & low latency directly from your browser ([[Model Web Broadcaster]]) without any additional software.
*Latency is less than 1 second for both desktop and mobile viewers when using the [[Video_Player|WebRTC player]].
*A hard-wired Ethernet connection (not WiFi) is strongly recommended.
==External Broadcaster==
[[External Broadcaster | External RTMP Broadcasters]] provide real-time video mixing tools, transitions, overlays, effects, audio tools, and more.
*Highest video quality.
*RTMP is the most widely used protocol for streaming live video from the broadcaster to the server.
*You are able to seamlessly stream in Free Chat and Private/Group/Club shows on MyFreeCams using an RTMP External Broadcaster ''without having to stop broadcasting'' when switching between show types.
*This is the best way to use [[MFC Alerts]] and the [[CharlesBot]] OBS widgets.
*This broadcasting method is recommended for models on WiFi or with a sub optimal Internet connection (e.g. when traveling).
*If you had good results with Flash, but not with WebRTC, this broadcasting option will be the optimal choice.
*A hard-wired Ethernet connection is recommended for the best results.

==Sidekick==
'''New & improved Sidekick v3 coming March 2021.'''
[[Sidekick]] is an [[OBS]] broadcasting plug-in that delivers a high quality, ultra-low latency stream to MFC using WebRTC.
*Sidekick has lower latency and equal or even slightly better video quality compared with normal OBS (RTMP).
*Latency is < 2 seconds for both desktop and mobile viewers when using the [[Video_Player|WebRTC player]].
*Available for Windows and Mac.
*After installing Sidekick you are still able to use OBS to broadcast in the normal way (RTMP) by switching to a different OBS profile.
*A hard-wired Ethernet connection (not WiFi) is strongly recommended.
