Introduction

When you use Motto to live-stream a sports match, typically you create a single event with a single live-stream attached to it. Motto then automatically generates a dedicated stream key along with an RTMP or SRT ingest URL, which you can plug into your streaming software or hardware.

Sometimes, however, you may want to choose an existing stream key that your live-stream should attach to. There is a variety of scenarios where this may be useful, but the most common case is when it is slow or difficult to change the stream key in your streaming software or hardware, and you want to avoid having to reconfigure it frequently on that side. Examples of this are:

  • When you are broadcasting a tournament with rapid consecutive matches, and the (automated) camera takes a while to reconnect;
  • When you have a fixed camera on the side of a pitch that you want to use throughout a season without having to update it;
  • When you have a dedicated hardware encoder that is not easily reconfigurable;
  • When communications with a third-party broadcaster are slow, and it is not feasible to change the stream key on short notice.

Get Started

You can get started using the Motto Studio, which we recommend for non-technical users. Alternatively, you may get started by using the Motto API.
