  1. Enter Your Name.
  • The URL is a bit tricky. I will post the format. Keep in mind if you copy and paste it your phone is almost always going to change the first part from RTMP to HTTP. Just be sure you change it back to RTMP and the problem is solved.  The URL is on the Encoder Setup tab.  It’s on the bottom right of the page right under the download links.
