Stream to YouTube and Facebook simultaneously from OBS

 Want to be able to stream to both YouTube and Facebook simultaneously from OBS?  Well you can with this plug in!

Download this plug in for your Windows box from the following location (as of writing its version 0.2.5.3)

Releases · sorayuki/obs-multi-rtmp · GitHub

"obs-multi-rtmp.zip"


Now unzip the file



Now open up your existing OBS installation location C:\Program Files\obs-studio


Now just drag and drop the 'data" and the "obs-plugins" folder one at a time from your downloaded file and drop it into the C:\Program Files\obs-studio location, windows will merge the files together automatically.

Now launch OBS


You may need to activate enable its view by clicking on "VIEW -> DOCKS -> MULTIPLE OUTPUT"



It will now show up in your view

Now its easy.  If you are doing this you should be familiar with streaming configs.

First, you'll need to have one pre configured in OBS itself.  My example I've got a YouTube stream already configured in OBS.


If the plugin didn't automatically populate these configs in the plugin itself, you'll need to add them manually.  So, you'll have YouTube configured in the regular stream section in OBS, then you'll repeat the config in the Multi-OBS plug-in as well.  



Now add your FaceBook (or whatever other streams you want to add in)


Click on "START" stream in OBS regular spot (you need to tell OBS to start streaming in the program itself.


Once you do this, you can click start on both entries in the plugin:

You can safely click "STOP STREAMING" in the OBS button.  Your plugin will keep streaming.

That should be it, you should be streaming to 2 different destinations.
