Streaming

Streaming quality is important to keep your audience engaged, so you can use tools like RTMP streaming with Dacast to broadcast Backup Kick clips without buffering high-quality video content without buffering. Dacast also supports private streams and pay-per-view monetization to give viewers access to exclusive content for a fee.

When you’re ready to start streaming, open your Kick Creator Dashboard and find the Stream URL and Key. Add these credentials to OBS Studio to connect your streaming software with Kick.

While Kick’s focus is on gaming, it also allows other types of content such as IRL vlogs, music performances, and art showcases. This flexibility makes it an attractive alternative to the more saturated Twitch market for beginning streamers looking to grow their audiences. A higher revenue split of 95% is also a big draw for many creators. To make the most of your Kick streaming experience, try using a chat overlay tool to engage your audience. Options include PixelChat, Chat Arena, and browser-based solutions.
