In this video I show you a simple way to stream to multiple platforms at the same time—like Twitch and YouTube—without paying for a VPS and without relying on a third-party restreaming service. The whole idea is: you stream once from OBS (or whatever you use) to your own nginx RTMP endpoint, and nginx does the pushing out to the different platforms for you. I’m doing it on Linux here, because that’s where nginx feels the most at home, but the same approach can work on Windows too (either a native nginx build or via WSL). I walk through the key nginx RTMP config you need: an RTMP server listening on port 1935, a “live” application, and then a couple of push directives—one for Twitch and one for YouTube—where you paste in your stream keys. I also add a small safety measure to prevent random people from playing back your stream from the outside. The big takeaway is that this is free, it’s under your control, and it scales to more platforms as long as you understand the trade-off: every extra push means more upload bandwidth required.
