Setting Up
Connecting OBS Studio
3 min
Configure OBS Studio to send its RTMP output to Stream Guard instead of directly to your streaming platform. Stream Guard acts as a local RTMP receiver.
Key Points
✓In OBS, set the stream server to rtmp://localhost with your local port
✓Stream Guard receives the RTMP feed and converts it to HLS segments
✓You can preview your stream locally before going live
✓OBS connection status is monitored and displayed in the client
Details
The default RTMP receive port is configurable between 1024 and 65535. Most users keep the default setting.
Stream Guard parses FFmpeg stderr to display real-time stats like FPS, bitrate, and resolution directly in the client.
