Stream Key Rejected: What to Check

Your platform rejected the stream key: check the key, the place you chose and the address, then try again.

The short answer

Check that the key is copied in full with no spaces, that the place is the right one, and that the address matches the platform. Copy a new key from the platform if needed.

How to do it in Streamdzy

  1. Open the platform’s live or creator settings and copy the stream key and address it shows.
  2. In Streamdzy, open Settings, Go live, add the place once, and paste the key.
  3. Connect a camera or a phone, then run a short private test and listen to the sound.
  4. Tick the places for the show and press Go live. Keep the key private.

What to know first

Platform menus change. If a name has moved, search the platform’s own help for “stream key”. Each key is kept encrypted on your PC.

Questions

Why does it say rejected?

Usually the key is wrong, old or pasted with an extra character.

Want all of this in one app?

Streamdzy is a free streaming and recording app for Windows: several cameras, your phone as a camera, going live to many places at once, and recording first so a bad connection never costs you the show.
