Introduction

You can live stream audio by using Muvi Live and any streaming software encoders like OBS, and vMix. Muvi supports streaming software encoders that allow live streaming from a custom RTMP server. To set up live streaming of the content, you need to point the streaming encoder to our server

First, you need to sign up with Muvi Live and after that, you need to download, install, and configure the streaming encoder. Then, you need to add an audio live stream in Muvi Live. You will get the streaming Server URL and Stream Key (automatically generated) once you start the live streaming in Muvi Live. You need to configure the streaming Server URL and Stream Key in the streaming encoder (i.e., OBS, vMix). The output of the audio live stream is generated in the form of HLS Link and Embed Link (iFrame) which you can configure respectively in the content or website to access by your end-users.
