Go live on VBoys

One stream key, set up once. After that, going live is just pressing Start Streaming in OBS.

Your stream key

Mux stream keys don't expire between shows — create it once, reuse it every week.

Offline
Create a stream key, then start streaming in OBS — this flips to LIVE within seconds. It checks Mux every 10 seconds while this page is open.

OBS — the 3-step setup (one time only)

One-time setup. You paste the server + key into OBS once. The key is saved in OBS and reused every week — from your second show on, going live on VBoys is literally just pressing Start Streaming.
  1. Open OBS → Settings → Stream.
  2. Service: choose “Custom…” — then paste the Server and Stream Key from the top of this page, and click Apply.
  3. Press “Start Streaming.” You're live on VBoys — check the indicator above or open the watch page.

The profile zip is a real OBS profile folder (basic.ini + service.json with your server and key already in it). Unzip it, then in OBS: Profile → Import → select the unzipped VBoys folder → then Profile → VBoys to switch to it. Keep the file private — it contains your stream key, exactly like a password.

VBoys streams are created on Mux with a 60-second reconnect window — if OBS or your internet hiccups mid-show, reconnect within a minute and the stream (and your viewers) pick right back up. Latency is Mux standard for now; low-latency mode is a later upgrade.

No PC? Go live from your phone

Same server, same key, same one-time setup — the phone apps save them too:

  1. Install Larix Broadcaster (free, iOS/Android) or PRISM Live Studio.
  2. Add a new RTMP destination: paste the ingest server as the URL and your stream key in the key field.
  3. Save it as “VBoys.” Every week after: open the app, pick VBoys, tap Go Live.
