OBS (Open Broadcast Suite) is the recommended tool to stream.
OBS can be downloaded here: https://obsproject.com/download
Please check you have a good internet connection. Upload speed is especially important. You can use speedtest.net to check. 40Mbps is very good!
Check your audio is streaming and not clipping.
Please add a Berlin Modular Society logo to a corner of your screen. If you add your artist logo, please put that in a different corner.
We suggest you use a separate device, phone or tablet to check that your stream sound is ok on Youtube or Twitch
When testing your stream prior to going live you can check the Artist Area page We will only forward to Twitch and Youtube for the actual performance.
When you have completed your stream, please press Stop Streaming! (otherwise the next artist will not be able to stream)

How to automatically record to disk when you stream.
Enter the Berlin Modular Society stream key for Restream.io as in the image below.
Note: If a box pops up where Restream asks to login with your email or Google account, this is not what we want. In order to force OBS to use the stream key, you can select User Defined or RTMP instead of Restream in the drop down below. Then enter rtmp://live.restream.io/live for the URL or Service and the same Stream Key.
Setting file type for local recording.
Use the Stream test page to check your stream is coming to us.
