In the ever-evolving landscape of content creation, staying ahead of trends is paramount. The latest game-changer? Vertical multistreaming. Now, you can effortlessly stream on Instagram Live, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok simultaneously. This revolutionary capability stems from Instagram’s recent decision to empower users with RTMP addresses for live broadcasting. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process, shedding light on YoloCast as the go-to platform for your vertical multistreaming endeavors.
What are the Advantages of Vertical Streaming?
Embracing the Mobile-First Era
With the rise of mobile usage, especially on platforms like Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok, vertical streaming aligns perfectly with the way audiences consume content on their smartphones. By adopting a vertical format, you cater to the preferences of users scrolling through these platforms on their mobile devices.
Enhancing Viewer Experience
Vertical streaming isn’t just about adapting to screen orientation; it’s about delivering a more immersive and engaging experience. As viewers are accustomed to vertical content on these platforms, providing content in the same format ensures a seamless and enjoyable watching experience.
How to Get the Stream Keys?
For Instagram
Before delving into the multistreaming magic, you’ll need a professional Instagram account. Don’t worry; it’s free! If you’re not a pro yet, a simple switch to a Pro account will do the trick. How? Go to Settings > Account type and tools > Switch to professional account
Then follow these steps to acquire your Instagram stream key.
