    This is a HOWTO on how to use Owncast with OBS.

    • Install Owncast
    • As a first step, change the streaming key. This is under Configuration -> Server Setup:
      bb02c4fc-e7a4-44c7-9dab-2b75491d2f7c-image.png
    • In Home, you will find the Streaming URL.

    • Put the above in OBS. File -> Settings. Then, Stream . Choose Custom and paste the values from above:
      0b155641-c866-4e23-b892-d0a72739bc53-image.png
    • In OBS, Start Streaming.

    That's it! You can point your viewers to your owncast instance and they should see whatever you are streaming via OBS.

    As described here, you can embed in another site like so:

    <iframe
      src="https://your.host/embed/video"
      title="Owncast"
      height="350px" width="550px"
      referrerpolicy="origin"
      scrolling="no"
      allowfullscreen>
    </iframe>
    

    There is also a HLS stream - https://your.host/hls/stream.m3u8 (put it straight into VLC or equivalent).

    With defaults, I am seeing a roughly 10 second latency. Apparently, this is expected with HLS streaming . See https://github.com/owncast/owncast/issues/504 and https://github.com/owncast/owncast/issues/28#issuecomment-659690058

    It so is!

    Just as a test I'm currently streaming the Summer of Soul over on https://stream.uniteddiversity.coop - was so easy! Amazing! 😄

    I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

    @girish OwnCast has an option to lower the delay - it's built in 10 seconds is default setting and expected, as you said.

    @girish

    Thanks for the nice tutorial!

    The example you provide is:

    src="https://your.host/embed/video"
    

    So, if our website is:
    https://ourwebsite.com
    and the Owncast is at: https://owncast.ourwebsite.com

    would we put:

    src="https://owncast.ourwebsite.com/embed/video"
    

    and reach the HLS (HTTP Live Stream) stream on e.g. VLC at:

    http://owncast.ourwebsite.com/hls/stream.m3u8
    

    or

    https://owncast.ourwebsite.com/hls/stream.m3u8

    @girish Thanks, so I think you should edit the last line in your original post in this thread to reflect this. http -->https
