OBS SRT Setup 2026: Stream to Any SRT Server (Step-by-Step)

Let's put your OBS program feed on SRT Cloud. One custom URL, two gotchas, three minutes, start to green. First, your input address. Open the stream, copy the endpoint, the port, and your passphrase. That's everything OBS needs. In OBS, open Settings, then Stream. Service: Custom. Everything happens in the Server field, and only there. Paste the full address: srt://host:port, then streamid, passphrase, and latency as query parameters. Gotcha one: OBS counts latency in microseconds. 1000000 is one second. 500 is nothing. Gotcha two: leave the Stream Key empty. OBS ignores it for SRT. Everything travels in the URL. Hit Start Streaming, then watch Monitoring. Bitrate up, takers green, round trip steady. Your feed is in. Custom service, one full URL, microseconds for latency, key stays blank. Next up: AWS MediaConnect.
