Connect Menu - ATOMOS Stream – Support - Atomos

ATOMOS Stream is designed to make live streaming to popular platforms like YouTube Live, Facebook Live and Twitch easier. You can choose to work with high-end digital cinema cameras, mirrorless cameras, DSLR, USB cameras or even iOS devices and stream content live to these popular online platforms through your Atomos Cloud Studio account.

In order to stream content from your Atomos Cloud Studio account to one of these platforms, first you will need what is called a Stream Key. This is a unique code generated by each platform, that provides information on where to send the video stream. The following provides guidance on generating a stream key and setting up for streaming on each of the platforms.

Live Streaming is not available if H.265 is selected as the record codec.

Streaming is only available when using standard YCC 422 video inputs.

Facebook Live is currently not available as a destination for streaming, and will be enabled in a future firmware update.

Changing resolutions and frame rate when Live Streaming mode is enabled may result in the stream stopping. Switching between Record and play back mode will allow the stream to restart. Press the LIVE button to stop stream before changing inputs, resolutions or frame rates.

Streaming to YouTube Live

When using your SHOGUN CONNECT to stream to YouTube Live, your device is viewed as an encoder, and must be set up in YouTube as such.
