The video demonstrates how to access these from the Kick dashboard. - **Kick Recommended Settings** [01:04] — Kick supports a bitrate of 8000 kbps and 1080p resolution. The stream automatically disconnects if settings are not configured correctly. - **Accessing Stream URL and Key** [01:34] — From the Kick creator dashboard, navigate to the stream page. On the left side, you'll find options including stream URL and key, revenue, achievements, and studio. - **Choosing Streaming Software** [02:01] — The video recommends using OBS Studio or Streamlabs. OBS is free and widely used for streaming. - **OBS Output Settings** [02:34] — In OBS settings, go to Output. Choose 'Simple' or 'Advanced'. For advanced, set encoder to Nvidia H.264 (if using Nvidia GPU) or x264 (CPU). - **Bitrate and Keyframe Settings** [03:37] — Set bitrate to 8000 kbps. Keyframe interval should be 2 seconds. Preset: 'slower' for better quality. Tuning: 'zero latency' or 'ultra low latency'. - **Additional Encoder Settings** [04:04] — Profile: 'main'. B-frames: 2. Ensure internet upload speed is at least 10 Mbps for stable streaming. - **Video Settings in OBS** [05:07] — Set base (canvas) resolution to your monitor's native resolution (e.g., 1080p, 2K, 4K). Output (scaled) resolution should be 1920x1080 for Kick. - **Configuring Stream Tab** [06:21] — In OBS, go to Settings > Stream. Choose 'Custom' service. Enter the server URL and stream key from Kick dashboard. - **Multi-Streaming and Monetization** [07:19] — Kick allows multi-streaming to other platforms. Enable monetization if you are a partner. The video also mentions streaming to YouTube Shorts in vertical format. ### Conclusion By following these steps and using the recommended OBS settings, you can start streaming on Kick with optimal quality and minimal latency. ## Transcript YouTube audience and I will keep coming with you and I will keep coming with YouTube and the same profile picture custom server URL and key with it to stream it.
