Use this guide to create a destination you can attach to one or more streams.

Open the Add Destination dialog

  1. Go to Destinations

  2. Click + Add Destination

You’ll see a dialog where you can select a platform:

  • Custom RTMP

  • Custom SRT

  • YouTube / Twitch / LinkedIn / X (guided)

Option A: Add a Custom RTMP destination

Choose Custom RTMP, then fill in:

  • Platform Name
    Example: YouTube Live, Twitch, Partner RTMP

  • RTMP Server URL
    Example: rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2

  • Stream Key
    Paste the stream key provided by the platform.

Click Add Destination to save.

Tip: If your platform gives you rtmps://..., use that exact URL.

Option B: Add a Custom SRT destination

Choose Custom SRT, then fill in the endpoint details provided by your receiver.

Typical fields are:

  • Host

  • Port

  • Optional: StreamID, Passphrase, Latency (only if required)

Click Add Destination to save.

Option C: Add a guided platform (YouTube / Twitch / LinkedIn / X)

Choose the platform tile and follow the guided steps.
At the end, Castlify will save it as a destination you can reuse.

Use the destination in a stream (fastest way)

  1. Go to Streams

  2. Find your stream row

  3. In the Destinations column, click + Destination

  4. Select the destination you just created

Then start the stream to begin distributing.

Edit or delete a destination

Back in Destinations:

  • Click the pencil icon to edit

  • Click the trash icon to delete

Note: If a destination is used by an active stream, stop the stream first before changing or removing it.
