Configuring your streaming software

Specific steps to start streaming depend on the software you use, but in general, you need to do the following:

1. Configure your streaming software to the output SRT.
2. Set the address to the Comprimato Cloud entrypoint input.comprimato.com, port 30000.
3. Set SRT streamID to the streamer_key you have received in the REST API response, as described in the chapter Create a live stream.
