How to Add Misc. / RTMP as an Ingest for Live Streaming

Before You Use RTMP

SRT is recommended when possible for lower latency and better reliability. RTMP remains available as a legacy fallback for older workflows.

Use this Misc. / RTMP ingest when your device or app does not support SRT. Common examples include drones, DJI cameras using DJI Mimo, GoPro cameras, action cameras, and older hardware encoders.

Step 1:Start Your Streamable Server

Start your server, then open the Ingests page at https://streamable.run/ingests.

Step 2:Reveal the Misc. RTMP Connection Details

Select the ingest you want your device to use.

Open Misc. (RTMP) and reveal its connection details.

Treat the Stream Key and Single Link like passwords. Anyone with either complete credential can send video to this ingest.

Step 3:Choose the Format Your Device Requires

If your device has separate Server and Stream Key fields, copy each matching value from Streamable.

If your device has only one RTMP URL or code field, copy the Single Link instead. The GoPro app commonly uses this format.

Do not append the stream key yourself when using Streamable's Single Link; it already includes the key.

Step 4:Configure the Device's RTMP Stream

Open the custom RTMP or livestream settings on your camera, drone controller, companion app, or encoder.

Paste the Streamable values into the matching fields, then save the configuration.

• DJI devices: look for the custom RTMP option in DJI Mimo or the supported controller workflow.
• GoPro: use the Single Link when the app provides only one RTMP URL field.
• Other encoders: use Server plus Stream Key unless their documentation specifically asks for one combined URL.

Step 5:Start the Device Stream and Confirm the Feed

Start streaming from the device or companion app.

Return to Streamable and confirm the ingest shows as online and appears in the Ingest Bitrate Monitor.

When the feed is stable and you are ready to broadcast, start your destinations from the Streamable Dashboard.

If the Feed Does Not Connect

• Confirm your Streamable server is running and you selected the intended ingest.
• Copy the Server and Stream Key again, or use the Single Link if the device exposes only one field.
• Make sure there are no spaces before or after a pasted value.
• Stop and restart the device stream after correcting its settings.
• Test with a conservative bitrate if the device connects but the feed is unstable.
