Frequently Asked
Questions About RTMP

  • What encoders work with Dacast over RTMP?
    Dacast works with OBS, Wirecast, vMix, and any standard hardware or software encoder that supports RTMP or RTMPS.
  • Is RTMP or RTMPS more secure?
    RTMPS encrypts the connection between your encoder and Dacast. Use it when you need an encrypted ingest path.
  • Do I need to open firewall ports for RTMP?
    Most users do not need to open any ports to start streaming. If your network blocks outbound connections, check with your IT team before your event.
  • Can I record my RTMP stream automatically?
    Yes. Every live stream is recorded and saved to your video on demand library automatically, with no separate setup required.
  • Can I monetize a stream sent over RTMP?
    Yes. Pay per view, subscriptions, and ad based monetization run through Dacast's built in paywall. The paywall is included on Event plans and above, and available as an add on on Starter.
  • What is the difference between RTMP ingest and HLS delivery?
    RTMP is how your encoder sends video to Dacast. HLS is one of the ways Dacast delivers that video to viewers. See our HLS streaming page for delivery details.
