This is the best way to stream on Kick with Streamlabs
With Kick being a prominent name in the streaming industry, those wanting to make their streaming experience smoother can use streaming tool Streamlabs, and our guide will offer you the best way to do so.
The streaming industry is larger than ever, with people tuning in to watch their favorite streamers regardless of their preferred niches. While categories like gaming and just chatting are more dominant on Twitch, the Stake-owned streaming platform Kick has its own sets of niches that shine thanks to some of its lighter restrictions on streamers and their content.
As expected, Kick gives streamers multiple ways to personalize their content to make things more convenient. However, Streamlabs stands as one of the best and most user-friendly streaming software options available. With such features as customizable overlays, camera feed, and game capture readily available, those wanting to take their streaming to the next level should give Streamlabs a shot.
What’s the best way to stream on Kick with Streamlabs?
The best way for users to stream on Kick with Streamlabs is by installing and using its desktop application.
Here is how to stream on Kick using Steamlabs:
- After installing the Streamlabs desktop application and setting up a Kick account, users should create a Streamlabs ID. This gives streamers access to tools like cross slip and talk studio with a single login.
- After logging into Streamlabs, users should go into settings, navigate to the stream tab, and click “connect“ next to Kick.
- They must log in through their browser to authorize permissions.
Users can then navigate to output settings to adjust the stream’s bitrate. Kick supports bitrates between 4,500 and 8,000 kbps for 1080p streaming, but streamers can change it depending on their particular conditions and preferences. Setting the frame rate to 60 fps can make the stream smoother, ensuring viewers don’t find the stream choppy with 30 fps.
Streamers can add sources to the main Streamlabs screen, like game capture, camera feed, and overlays. They can also add alerts from Streamlabs’ built-in alert options, or custom alerts for Kick. After setting everything up, select “go live” in Streamlabs and type a title for the stream before going live for others to join.
Streamers can also multistream on Kick and other platforms using Streamlabs’ dual output option. After enabling dual output from the Streamlabs settings, creators must go to the stream tab to log in with all relevant streaming platforms. Then go to the general tab to confirm the stream title and game category before going live.
With all of this done, a new confirmation window will open the next time the streamer goes live. Here, creators must select the platforms they want to stream on simultaneously before confirming and going live. This can include Kick and other platforms such as Twitch, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook.
It’s important to note that the free version of Streamlabs only lets users multistream on up to two platforms. Streamlabs Ultra is required to increase that number further.
