StreamYard currently supports streaming to Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, X (Twitter), Twitch, Kick and Vimeo natively. Custom destinations, such as Wix sites, are also supported using a custom RTMP destination, but some features will be limited.
Each platform supports streaming in specific orientations (landscape, portrait, or landscape + portrait): when streaming using MARS (Multi-Aspect Ratio Streaming) mode, please verify which orientation your destination supports.

Adding Streaming Destinations
You can add streaming destinations to your StreamYard account by logging in, going to the Destinations page, clicking 'Add a destination,' and selecting your preferred channel.
For platforms not directly integrated, you would need to check if the platform supports receiving an RTMP feed. If it does, you can use the custom RTMP option in StreamYard to set it up.
Each streaming destination may require different permissions or setup steps. Please refer to our guides for detailed instructions on adding destinations or setting up custom RTMP streaming. If you need further help, contact our support team.
