Quick Start

Go from account creation to a live broadcast in a few minutes.

1. Create an Account

Section titled “1. Create an Account”

Head to https://chartroom.frameworks.network and sign up with your email.

2. Create a Stream

Section titled “2. Create a Stream”

This creates a push stream: OBS, FFmpeg, StreamCrafter, or a hardware encoder will upload media into FrameWorks. If you want the platform to fetch from an existing camera or origin instead, see Pull-input Streams.

In the dashboard:

  1. Click Content → Streams in the sidebar
  2. Click Create Stream
  3. Give it a name (this is just for you to identify it)
  4. Click Create

You’ll land on your stream’s detail page.

3. Copy Your Stream Key

Section titled “3. Copy Your Stream Key”

On your stream detail page, copy the Stream Key from the top row. If you want to manage multiple keys, open the Ingest tab and use Stream Keys Management.

Keep this secret—anyone with your stream key can broadcast to your channel. Stream keys are tied to your account and the specific stream you created.

4. Configure Your Encoder

Section titled “4. Configure Your Encoder”

Open OBS Studio (or your preferred streaming software). For the quickest setup, we’ll use RTMP. Enhanced RTMP (E-RTMP) works on the same ingest endpoint when your encoder supports it. For advanced configurations like WHIP or specific optimizations (e.g., keyframe intervals, OBS profiles), refer to our Encoder Setup Guide.

In OBS Studio:

  1. Go to Settings → Stream.
  2. Set Service: Custom.
  3. For Server: Enter rtmps://edge-ingest.frameworks.network:1935/live (you can also copy the RTMP/E-RTMP URL from the Ingest tab).
  4. For Stream Key: Paste the stream key you copied from your FrameWorks dashboard.

Once configured, hit Start Streaming in OBS.

5. Watch Your Stream

Section titled “5. Watch Your Stream”

Back in the dashboard, your stream status should flip to Live within a few seconds.

The Playback Info card shows your Playback ID. For protocol URLs and embed code, open the Playback tab.
