# Livestream Using OBS / StreamLabs

{% hint style="danger" %}
Currently, we generate **a new *****Stream Key*** for every live stream session you start. So make sure to update it in your application whenever you start a new stream.

With STARBACKR Live 2.0 you can now not only stream directly from your web browser but also from third-party applications like Open Broadcasting Studio (OBS) or SteamLabs. Once you start a live streaming session on STARBACKR you will receive a unique *Stream Key* and *URL.* See below for a step-by-step guide on how to connect.

### Step-By-Step Guide

1. Navigate to STARBACKR Live (Streaming from third-party applications is only supported on Desktop devices) and start click the "Live" button
2. Once on the streaming dashboard, enter a *title/description* for your stream and select *From third party application (Stream Key/URL)* from the sources selection.
3. Optional: Modify your stream settings (Premium, Scheduled, Record)
4. Click *Start Livestream* to start the session and generate a *Stream Key.* Your Session will now be accessible to viewers. Keep this page open while streaming.
5. Copy *Stream Key* and *URL* and paste those into your third-party application's settings.
6. Hit *Start Streaming to* stream data from your third-party application to your STARBACKR live session.
