Set Up Multistream — Twitch, YouTube, Kick in Parallel

Stream to multiple platforms at once — set up FizzyPeak Multistream.

Set Up Multistream

With Multistream you stream from a single encoder upstream to Twitch, YouTube, Kick, TikTok, Rumble and more all at once. FizzyPeak takes your SRT/RTMP ingest and fans it out to all linked destinations.

How does it work?

Your encoder (Belabox/OBS/Moblin) pushes once to FizzyPeak. Our cloud transcodes as needed and pushes in parallel to all linked platforms. You save:

• Bandwidth — just one upstream instead of 3-5 in parallel
• CPU/battery — the encoder only has to encode once
• Complexity — one control, one start/stop

Connect destinations

1. Sidebar: Distribution -> Multistream
2. Per platform: "Link" button
3. OAuth flow — you're redirected to Twitch/YouTube/Kick, authorize FizzyPeak, and return

Supported platforms

• Twitch — OAuth (fully automatic)
• YouTube — OAuth + stream creation is managed automatically
• Kick — OAuth (new support — if unstable, manual RTMP is possible)
• TikTok Live — manual stream key only (no OAuth available)
• Rumble — manual RTMP config
• Facebook Gaming — OAuth
• Custom RTMP — your own destination with an RTMP URL + key

Stream title and game/category

For each destination you can set a title and category. FizzyPeak syncs the values via API:

1. Click the edit pencil on each destination
2. Set the title and category (= game on Twitch, tag on YT)
3. Apply

If you enable "Same title everywhere", FizzyPeak uses one master title for all destinations.

Quality settings

Some platforms have bitrate limits:

FizzyPeak transcodes down automatically if you send, say, 8000 kbps to Twitch — without you having to change anything.

Chat aggregation

Once destinations are linked, their chats are merged into your overlay and the AI moderator:

• A unified chat stream across all platforms
• Chat commands (e.g. !song) work no matter where they come from
• The overlay shows platform badges per message

Live status per destination

In the Multistream tab you see for each destination:

• Status: Idle / Connecting / Live / Error
• Bitrate: current (received, sent)
• Viewer count (where supported by the API)
• Time since online

If one destination errors out (e.g. the Twitch API is down), the stream keeps running on the others — FizzyPeak retries automatically.

Start/Stop

Starting and stopping happens either:

• Globally: "Start All" / "Stop All" in the Multistream tab
• Per destination: individual toggle per platform
• Automatically: as soon as your encoder pushes, all active destinations go live

Troubleshooting

• Destination connected, but no stream -> platform key expired; under "Edit -> Re-Authorize"
• Chat doesn't come from Twitch -> see Chat doesn't appear
• Bitrate too high for TikTok -> transcoding may fail, reduce the encoder bitrate to 4000 kbps

Best practice

Before your first multistream: go live on all platforms with a test title "Technical Test", check that chat + video + audio come through, and end after 2 min. This saves embarrassing problems on the real launch.

• Not all platforms at once — some users are sensitive when they see the stream on 3 sites. Kick + Twitch is the most common mix; YouTube separately as a VOD platform
• TikTok only temporarily — the 60-minute limit policy makes TikTok multistream impractical for longer sessions
