Streamloop turns pre-recorded videos and audio into a continuous live stream that runs 24/7 on YouTube or any RTMP platform. Stream in HDR at up to 4K 60fps, and give multiple team members access to the same workspace. Everything runs in the cloud — there's no OBS to set up, no encoding hardware, and no PC left switched on.
This page covers what Streamloop can do. To put it to work, start with the quickstart.
Connect your channel or paste a stream key, then loop your video to YouTube around the clock. Twitch, Facebook Live, Instagram, Kick, TikTok, or anything that accepts an RTMP feed. Queue several videos in one loop, reorder them, and play them in order or on shuffle. Set a start time and let it stop on its own. Streamloop runs the stream for you. Broadcast HDR video at up to 4K 60fps when your destination supports HDR. Give multiple people access to the same workspace without sharing one login.Each loop streams to one destination:
- YouTube — connect your channel directly through the official YouTube API. Streamloop is reviewed and audited by YouTube to meet its live-streaming verification requirements, and it creates and manages the live broadcast for you. You can also paste a stream key from YouTube's live control room instead. See YouTube integration.
- Custom RTMP — point a loop at any RTMP URL and stream key. This covers Twitch, Facebook Live, Instagram, Kick, TikTok, and any other RTMP-compatible platform. Add the destination from the loop's General tab by clicking Connect a destination.
Pick the resolution, frame rate, dynamic range, and orientation that fit your content:
- Resolution — 720p, 1080p, 1440p, or 4K (2160p).
- Frame rate — 24, 25, 30, or 60fps.
- HDR — stream high dynamic range video for wider color and brightness where your destination and your viewers' playback devices support HDR.
- Orientation — landscape (horizontal) or portrait (vertical), so the same loop works for a TV-style channel or a vertical feed like Shorts, TikTok, or Reels.
Higher resolution and frame rate cost more per hour — see Pricing.
Loop more than one video:
- Queue multiple videos in a single loop and drag to reorder them.
- Choose how it loops — In order (play 1 → 2 → 3, then repeat), Shuffle (random order, with no repeats until every video has played), or a Custom order you describe in plain language (pre-rolls, time-of-day stings, weighted rotations).
- Edit while you're live — add, remove, or reorder videos on a running stream, then publish the change. The on-air playlist updates almost instantly, with no stop-and-restart.
See Build and schedule your playlist.
- Almost any format — upload common containers (MP4, MOV, MKV) and modern codecs (AV1, H.265/HEVC, H.264) for video, and MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, or Opus for audio. Files can be up to 10 GB each. Drag and drop, or use the upload button.
- Import from a link — skip the download-then-upload dance and pull media straight from Google Drive, Dropbox, a YouTube video, or any direct download URL. Streamloop fetches it on its servers at the highest quality available (merged MP4 up to 4K, including AV1 sources for YouTube) and shows live progress, so you can close the tab while it works.
- Separate audio track — manage audio independently from video, as a single track or a full audio playlist, to replace the original sound with background music or a voiceover. Handy for lofi, radio, and ambient channels.
- Schedule a start — set a future date and time, and the stream goes live on its own.
- Stop automatically — give a loop a run length or a specific end time, or let it run indefinitely.
- Start on upload — begin streaming automatically as soon as your upload finishes.
Streamloop supports multi-user team access. Multiple people can work in the same workspace with their own sign-in, so you do not need to share account credentials.
Use team access when more than one person needs to build playlists, manage streams, or monitor a channel. Everyone works with the streams and media available to the shared workspace.
- Always-on uptime — Streamloop runs on distributed cloud infrastructure and maintains over 99.9% uptime. It watches every stream around the clock and restarts automatically if one gets stuck or drops, so your channel stays live without you watching over it.
- Encrypted credentials — your YouTube authorization and RTMP stream keys are encrypted at rest and kept in isolated storage, separate from the rest of your account data.
See Reliability.
When you connect a YouTube channel, Streamloop sets up and runs the broadcast for you — no YouTube Studio required:
- Set the stream title, description, category, language, and tags.
- Choose visibility: Public, Unlisted, or Private.
- Pick a thumbnail — automatic (the first frame of your video) or a custom image.
- Toggle recording and DVR, and choose a latency mode (normal, low, or ultra-low).
- Schedule on YouTube — when you schedule a loop, Streamloop creates the upcoming YouTube broadcast and keeps it in sync if you reschedule or cancel.
See YouTube integration for the full setup.
Streamloop is pay-as-you-go — you buy credits and spend them only while a stream is live. There's no subscription and no commitment, and credits never expire.
Cost scales with resolution, frame rate, and how long the stream runs:
| Resolution | Approximate cost |
|---|---|
| 720p | from $4 / month |
| 1080p | from $8 / month |
| 1440p | from $16 / month |
| 4K (2160p) | from $24 / month |
- Free to try — new accounts get free credits, enough for a few hours of streaming, with no card required.
- Top up from $5 — and any unused balance stays on your account.
- Card or crypto — pay by card (via Stripe) or with cryptocurrency, including USDT, USDC, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, across all major coins and networks.
