Steam | LiveU Studio | Your all-in-one live streaming production studio in your browser

Steam is a video game digital distribution service by Valve. It's a website where you can find a large selection of video games. But it is also possible to broadcast live stream sessions on the platform.

Broadcast your stream on Steam with LiveU Studio will allow you to:

- Custom your live game with specific graphics and overlays.
- Make remote live competitions with guests.
- Invite remote commentators during your live game session.

One last point, and not the least... It is therefore an ideal solution to create a strong link with the members of your community.

Have you decided to go live on Steam? We'll tell you how to do this:

Join the Store Broadcast Beta group. It's required for streaming on Steam.

After joining the group, create an RTMP token with the button at the bottom of the setup page.

Next, copy the recommended RTMP link + Stream Token and paste it in a "Custom RTMP" publishing point on LiveU Studio.

Open your LiveU Studio event and Add a publishing point (1&2).

Select a custom "RTMP/RTMPS" publishing point.

Paste the RTMP URL and Stream Token (=Stream Key/Name) provided previously by Steam.

Select the publishing point.

? Next steps

When you're ready to stream, just Start Test and then Start publishing & record.

Remember to enable public access for viewers at the Steam Setup page in order to get your stream to game communities.

Note: Steam requires 16:9 resolution (1280x720, 1920x1080). If your stream doesn't get published, try adjusting your scene parameters.
