Stripchat OBS Setup: Stream Key & Settings

Everything you need to get OBS live on Stripchat (SC) — stream key, server, and Stripchat's own recommended settings. Once you're set up, stream to every other cam site too, for free, with one extra step.

Get your Stripchat stream key

You need this whether you stream to Stripchat alone or add other sites — it doesn't change either way.

  1. Log into your Stripchat model account and start your broadcast.
  2. Below the broadcast window, click "Switch to External Broadcast Software".
  3. Copy the Server URL and Stream Key (a green alphanumeric code) shown in the popup.

Set up OBS for Stripchat

In OBS, go to Settings → Stream. Select Stripchat from the Service list and paste your key — if it's not listed, choose Custom, paste in the server URL from the step above, then paste your key.

Stripchat settings by resolution

Stripchat's own recommended OBS output settings for each resolution. Stay within these and Stream-Split relays your feed to Stripchat unchanged.

Want to also stream to other sites at the same time?

You just did the hard part. To also go live everywhere else you work, do one thing differently:

One OBS broadcast, duplicated in the cloud to every cam site at once
One OBS broadcast, duplicated in the cloud to every cam site at once
1

Point OBS at Stream-Split instead

Use Stream-Split's server and key in OBS (shown on your dashboard) instead of Stripchat's directly.

2

Paste your Stripchat key into the dashboard

The same key from the steps above — plus any other site's key. Switch each to Live, Away or Off with a click.

3

Live everywhere at once

Your broadcast reaches Stripchat and all your other platforms simultaneously — full quality, no extra CPU.

Many Stripchat models lean on interactive features and crisp video to drive tips, so an unaltered feed matters — Stream-Split forwards your stream to Stripchat exactly as OBS sends it, whether you multistream or not.

One dashboard, one row per site: Live, Away, Blur or Off — independently, with Solo for private shows

Interactive toys keep working

Toy integrations like Lush run through the Stripchat platform itself, not through your video pipeline. Multistreaming with Stream-Split doesn't touch that — your interactive features behave exactly as they do when you stream to Stripchat directly, while your broadcast also reaches your other sites.

Stripchat OBS & multistreaming FAQ

How do I stream to Stripchat with OBS?
Log into your Stripchat model account, start your broadcast, and click "Switch to External Broadcast Software" below the broadcast window. Copy the Server URL and Stream Key shown, then paste them into OBS's Stream tab (Settings → Stream).
Do I still need my Stripchat stream key if I use Stream-Split?
Yes — paste it into your Stream-Split dashboard instead of directly into OBS. OBS only needs to know about Stream-Split's server and key; we forward your feed on to Stripchat, and anywhere else you add, unchanged.
Can I be live on Stripchat and other sites at once?
Yes — one OBS broadcast goes live on Stripchat and every other platform you add simultaneously, without a separate upload per site.
Will multistreaming reduce my Stripchat quality?
No. Your feed is relayed unchanged, so Stripchat receives the same resolution and bitrate you send from OBS.
