The easiest way to connect to most encoders that are not listed in the Switchboard APP is to grab the Stream Key & Server URL ( located below the Switchboard Confidence monitor ) and paste it into the stream settings of your encoder. If you are setting up a new Switchboard account you can select Other from the Encoder Selection.
Step 1:
You will need to have both Switchboard and the encoder open.
Step 2:
In the next steps, you will go back and forth between Switchboard and your encoder as you grab the Stream Server/URL and Stream Key inside of Switchboard.
Both, the Stream Server/URL and Stream Key inside of Switchboard are located below the confidence monitor.
Step 3:
Copy the Steam Server/URL and Stream Key from Switchboard and paste them into the stream settings of your encoder.
NOTE: Some encoders ( like Larix Broadcaster) only provide one line for both your URL and Stream Key.
In this case, provide the URL and Stream Key as one string of characters, separated by a forward slash (/).
Stream URL "/" Stream Key.
