Easy Mode

We’ll create a room, stream to it through OBS, then view the stream through the Pipe testing tool.

​
Creating the Room

Head over to the Rooms tab under the Pipe page in the Console. Click “Create Room” in the top right. You’ll be presented with a modal: For this example, stick to RTMP for the ingest protocol and LLHLS for delivery. You can optionally give the stream a name. Click Create Room. Use the button to copy the Ingest Endpoint to your clipboard.

​
Streaming via OBS

OBS allows you to quickly and easily set up a livestream from your machine. Once downloaded, head over to the “Stream” tab in the Settings page: For Service, Select Custom. Paste the Ingest Endpoint you copied above into the Server input. It’ll look something like this: 
rtmp://cinnamon-iad1-prd.origin.hopvideo.net/v.vanilla/psk_c184ZTM2Y2Q3YzMxNDU3NjZjMmNkYmE5YzQzNTI2MThhOV8zMjUyOTM4ODQzNjc0MjE1Nw
Copy the last segment (after the /) from the endpoint. This is technically what OBS calls the “Stream Key”. Paste it into Stream Key input, then delete it from the Server input, along with the final /. Once done, your Stream config should look something like this: Click OK. You can now hit the Start Streaming button. You’re now streaming to Pipe!
