RTMP Broadcasting Software

RTMP is the most widely used protocol for streaming live video from the broadcaster to the server. External Broadcasters provide real-time video mixing tools, transitions, overlays, effects, audio tools, and more.

• 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.
