How to go live on the premium B2BMusic platform

Artists can go live on B2BMusic from OBS on a laptop or from a phone using a mobile streaming app, as long as the stream is sent to the B2BMusic live server and the creator account has the right access.

01

Log in with your artist account

Start by signing in with your artist, DJ, MC, or admin account so B2BMusic can reveal your private live-stream details and premium creator access.

02

Choose laptop or phone streaming

Use OBS on laptop, or use a mobile streaming app on your phone. Both routes stream into the same B2BMusic live feed.

03

Go live after your final check

Confirm your sound and scene, then start streaming whenever you are ready to take over the B2BMusic live player.

STREAM SETTINGS

B2BMusic live server

Use these settings in OBS or in your mobile streaming app:

Service: Custom

Server: rtmps://live.b2bmusic.co.uk:443/live/

Stream key: Shared privately with signed-in artists only

The B2BMusic live server above is the correct server for both laptop OBS and phone streaming whenever a paid-access artist is ready to go live.

BEST QUALITY

Recommended full HD stream settings

For the sharpest B2BMusic live picture, send a clean 1080p feed from OBS or your mobile streaming app.

  • Resolution: 1920 x 1080
  • Frame rate: 30fps or 60fps if your upload is stable
  • Video codec: H.264
  • Audio codec: AAC
  • Video bitrate: 6000 to 8000 kbps
  • Keyframe interval: 2 seconds
  • Connection: Use wired internet or the strongest stable upload possible

4K OBS GUIDE

Ultra HD source setup for OBS

If your booth, camera chain, and internet are strong enough, you can build your OBS scene in 4K for a cleaner source. Keep in mind that viewer playback is still adaptive, so stability matters more than pushing resolution too far.

  • Base (Canvas) Resolution: 3840 x 2160
  • Output (Scaled) Resolution: 3840 x 2160 if your upload is very strong, or 1920 x 1080 for safer delivery
  • FPS: 30fps for reliability, or 60fps only if your machine and upload can hold it steadily
  • Rate Control: CBR
  • Bitrate: stay well under 12000 kbps to match Cloudflare Stream guidance
  • Keyframe Interval: 2 seconds
  • Video Encoder: H.264
  • Audio Encoder: AAC
  • Network: use wired ethernet wherever possible

If the stream becomes unstable, drop back to 1080p immediately. A stable 1080p broadcast will look better for listeners than a struggling 4K one.

ARTIST ACCESS

Reveal your private stream details

Signed-in artist accounts can unlock their private OBS details here. B2BMusic now supports artist-on-demand streaming inside a premium platform model, so you can reveal your live details and go live whenever you are ready.

LAPTOP OR PHONE

Choose your go-live route

B2BMusic supports both a laptop booth setup and a direct phone setup for premium creator streaming.

OBS

OBS on laptop

Best for full booth setups, multiple cameras, overlays, and stable wired audio from your mixer or interface.

  • Open OBS.
  • Set `Service` to `Custom`.
  • Set `Server` to rtmps://live.b2bmusic.co.uk:443/live/.
  • Add your private B2BMusic stream key.
  • Route your DJ mixer audio into OBS through your audio interface.
PHONE

Mobile streaming from phone

Best when artists want to go live without a full laptop booth. Use a phone streaming app that supports custom RTMPS streaming.

  • Open your mobile streaming app.
  • Set a custom RTMPS destination.
  • Use the same B2BMusic server and your private stream key.
  • Connect your DJ mixer audio into the phone through a wired adapter or audio interface.
  • Start streaming from the phone whenever you are ready to go live.

PHONE AUDIO

DJ mixer audio into phone

To stream clean sound from a mixer into a phone, the phone needs a real wired audio input path rather than relying on its mic.

  • Take audio out from the DJ mixer.
  • Run that audio into a phone-compatible interface or adapter.
  • Use a TRRS, USB-C, or Lightning audio input path depending on the phone.
  • Check the mobile streaming app is using the wired input, not the phone mic.
  • Do a level test before the live slot starts so the stream is clean and not clipping.

SECURITY

Why the stream key is not published here

The stream key is effectively the password to broadcast into the live feed, so it should not be exposed on a public web page.

ARTIST ACCESS

Get the stream key privately

The key should only be shared with signed-in artist accounts through the protected B2BMusic go-live access flow, not on a public page.
