Multistreaming & Social Destinations

Stage TEN lets you broadcast to multiple social platforms, and to multiple accounts/channels on those platforms.

Social destinations, once configured, appear alongside the Stage TEN Interactive Player destination in the destination list, and can each be controlled by their own toggle.

Connecting Social Destinations

Social channels can be connected in one of two ways.

Automatically (Sign-up with Social)

If you used a social login to sign up for a Stage TEN account, we automatically connect the destinations available to that account.

Connect a Destination

You can add more social channels to your account in the project settings.

From the project settings, click Edit audience > Manage Destinations.

Click on the destination type you want to add and follow the prompts to connect. Many additional destinations can be also added using RTMP.

• YouTube: Connect as many YouTube channels as you want (must be admin).

• Facebook: Connect your personal Facebook profile, then select all the feeds, pages and groups you want (must be admin). Each will be available as a separate destination.

• Twitch: You can only connect one Twitch channel.

• LinkedIn: You can only connect one LinkedIn account.

• X (Twitter): Connect to X as an RTMP destination. You can find your connection info in the X Media Studio.

• RTMP: You can use RTMP to connect to additional social network accounts or custom encoder.

• TikTok: Connect to TikTok as an RTMP destination. This may require additional configuration from TikTok.

• Instagram: Connect to Instagram as an RTMP destination.

Going Live to your connected social channels

Ensure your new destination is selected, then save your destinations settings.

Once you are in the Studio, click Go Live in the top-right to start broadcasting.

Multistream Destination Settings

Stream Copy

One of the settings available on multistreaming destinations is Stream Copy. By default, this setting is off.

You can find this setting by opening your project settings, clicking Manage Destinations, then clicking the edit button on the corresponding destination.

What is Stream Copy?

Typically, Stage TEN’s servers will process your video stream prior to sending it to your multistreaming destinations to ensure compatibility and stability, especially on unstable networks. However, this is no longer necessary for most services, and can impact latency and picture quality.

If you prefer to optimize for speed, you can skip this processing step by enabling the Stream Copy option for your multistreaming destinations.

Deleting an existing connection

To delete an existing social destination, open the project settings, click Manage Destinations, then click the trash button on the corresponding destination.
