Streaming software for Kick
Your Kick stream. Your signature show.
Give your Kick channel a look that feels like you. Keep gameplay and your camera in focus, prepare a dedicated Just Chatting scene, and switch to a break scene when you step away. Balance game sound and your microphone so the conversation stays easy to follow.
Add camera and capture sources
Add the sources you intend to show, grant operating-system capture permissions when needed, and check the order of layers. Crop and position them in the canvas. Keep private windows and account settings out of the scene.
Listen to the result
Add the microphone and intended desktop or application audio. Speak at your normal streaming volume and check the mixer. Make a short recording and listen back: meters moving is not enough to catch doubled audio, music covering your voice or a missing track. Only broadcast content you are permitted to use.
Prepare your Kick broadcast
Set up your broadcast in the platform dashboard, then enter the destination and stream key in Studio’s Go Live dialog. Keep the key private. Check the platform preview before making the broadcast public, and confirm the picture and sound your viewers actually receive.
Check what your audience receives
Start only when you are ready to be public. Check the platform’s receiving preview for the correct scene and sound. Listen on a separate device with headphones or mute its speakers to avoid feedback. At the end, stop the output and confirm the platform shows the broadcast as ended.
