Custom RTMP is a feature that allows you to connect your streaming channel to a video broadcaster with specific parameters provided by the streaming platform of choice. 

To use Custom RTMP, you will need two RTMP values from the platform you want to stream to: 

· Server URL

· Stream Key / Stream ID

Using a custom RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) setup on YouTube offers several advantages:

1. Increased control and flexibility: With a custom RTMP setup, you have more control over your streaming workflow. You can adjust the streaming parameters and settings according to your unique requirements, including the video bitrate, resolution, and audio quality. This level of customization allows you to optimize your stream for the best possible viewer experience.

2. Compatibility with third-party software and hardware: Custom RTMP allows you to integrate third-party software and hardware solutions into your streaming setup. You can use professional broadcasting software or hardware encoders that offer advanced features and functionalities. This flexibility enables you to enhance the production quality and incorporate additional elements like graphics, overlays, and multiple camera angles.

3. Private or restricted streaming: A private or restricted live streaming event is a broadcast meant to be streamed to a select group of people rather than to the public. Using a custom RTMP setup, you can stream privately or restrict access to your stream. This is useful when limiting your viewership to specific individuals or groups. For example, you can host an internal company event or provide exclusive content to a select audience.

4. Branding and customization: A custom RTMP setup lets you brand your live streams. You can overlay graphics, logos, lower thirds, and other visual elements to personalize the stream and reinforce your brand identity. This branding helps create a professional and cohesive streaming experience for your viewers.

5. Redundancy and backup options: Custom RTMP setups often provide options for redundancy and backup streams. You can configure failover mechanisms that automatically switch to backup servers or streams if the primary connection experiences issues. This ensures a more reliable and uninterrupted streaming experience for your viewers.

6. Analytics and tracking: Custom RTMP setups may offer more detailed analytics and tracking options than the standard YouTube streaming interface. You can integrate analytics tools or access more comprehensive data about your viewership, such as audience demographics, viewer engagement, and viewing duration. These insights can help you measure the success of your live streams and make informed decisions for future events.

Limitations of Custom RTMP Live Streaming

One important point to remember about using custom RTMP for live streaming is that while you can broadcast to new destinations and platforms, you cannot display live comments on your show. Instead, you would need to either monitor them on a separate screen or monitor and mention them during your broadcast or go back and respond to them after the broadcast has ended.

In addition, you cannot see the number of live viewers on your broadcast or schedule your live stream.

It’s important to note that using a custom RTMP setup on YouTube requires technical expertise and additional setup compared to using the native YouTube streaming interface. It’s recommended to test and familiarize yourself with thoroughly the setup before broadcasting live to ensure a smooth streaming experience.

Every day, people form impressions of brands from touch points such as advertisements, news reports, conversations with family and friends, and product experiences. Unless consumers are actively shopping, much of that exposure appears wasted. But what happens when something triggers the impulse to buy? Those accumulated impressions then become crucial because they shape the initial-consideration set: the small number of brands consumers regard at the outset as potential purchasing options.

The funnel analogy suggests that consumers systematically narrow the initial-consideration set as they weigh options, make decisions, and buy products. Then, the postsale phase becomes a trial period determining consumer loyalty to brands and the likelihood of buying their products again. Marketers have been taught to “push” marketing toward consumers at each stage of the funnel process to influence their behavior. But our qualitative and quantitative research in the automobile, skin care, insurance, consumer electronics, and mobile-telecom industries shows that something quite different now occurs.

Actually, the decision-making process is a more circular journey, with four primary phases representing potential battlegrounds where marketers can win or lose: initial consideration; active evaluation, or the process of researching potential purchases; closure, when consumers buy brands; and postpurchase, when consumers experience them (Exhibit 2). The funnel metaphor does help a good deal—for example, by providing a way to understand the strength of a brand compared with its competitors at different stages, highlighting the bottlenecks that stall adoption, and making it possible to focus on different aspects of the marketing challenge. Nonetheless, we found that in three areas profound changes in the way consumers make buying decisions called for a new approach.

This is possible, but not necessarily easy. You need to find a utility that will receive the RTSP stream from the camera, and offer if as a virtual webcam to the WebRTC application. I’ve done this using vMix, which is a heavyweight commercial video production application. OBS Studio is similar, and open source, but lacks the virtual webcam capability. Most virtual webcam tools cannot use an RTSP stream as a source.

The more difficult approach is to have one application display the RTSP stream, and use another application to screen capture that like a rtmp server which at rtmp can use IP camera, offering it as a virtual webcam. VLC couple play the stream easily. SparkoCam could provide the virtual webcam. The video quality usually suffers using this approach.

I can think of a third approach that could be promising. It involves using the production quality NDI streaming format for passing video over IP. Use VLC to play the RTSP. Install Newtek’s free NDI plugin for VLC. This allows VLC to stream the playback as an NDI stream. Then use one of their other NDI utilities to convert that NDI stream to a virtual webcam. I suspect this could be done on the same host.
