Where to Find Your Kick Stream Key
Ready to go live on Kick? You'll need your stream key first. Here's exactly where to find it in your Kick dashboard and how to use it to start streaming.
Before you can broadcast to Kick — live from OBS or 24/7 from a cloud playlist — you need your stream key. It's the short secret that tells Kick which channel your feed belongs to. Finding it takes less than a minute.
Here's exactly where your Kick stream key is and how to put it to work.
Key takeaways
- Find your key under Kick.com → Creator Dashboard → Settings → Stream.
- Copy the stream key (and stream URL) into your encoder or cloud service.
- Kick supports secure RTMPS delivery.
- Keep the key private and reset it if it's ever exposed.
Step by step: finding your key
- Log in at Kick.com.
- Open your Creator Dashboard.
- Go to Settings → Stream.
- Copy your stream key (and note the stream URL).
These two values are everything a streaming tool needs to send your broadcast to your Kick channel.
Using the key with a cloud service
To run an always-on Kick channel, paste the key into a service like StreamHouse, add your videos to a playlist, and press Start. Your channel goes live and loops around the clock — no OBS, and no computer left running at home.
Keep your key safe
Your stream key is like a password to your channel. Don't show it on stream or in screenshots, and don't share it. If you think it's leaked, reset it from the same Stream settings screen and update your streaming tool with the new value. Reputable services store keys encrypted and never display them back in plain text.
Prefer RTMPS where offered
Kick supports secure RTMPS delivery, which wraps your feed and key in encryption on the way to the platform. When your streaming tool offers an RTMPS option for Kick, choose it — it's a simple way to protect your broadcast in transit.
Going live 24/7 on Kick
Once your key is in place, the same setup can keep your Kick channel live around the clock. Upload the videos you want to broadcast, arrange them into a looping playlist, and press Start — the stream runs continuously from the cloud, so you can close your laptop and it keeps going. This is ideal for building presence on Kick without streaming manually every day: reruns of past sessions, a music loop, or a themed marathon keep your channel active and give new viewers something to land on whenever they arrive. You can update the playlist live, so the channel stays fresh with zero downtime.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need OBS to use my Kick stream key?
No. You can paste the key into a cloud service and stream a pre-recorded playlist 24/7 without OBS or a PC.
Is my Kick stream key safe in a cloud service?
With a trustworthy service, yes. StreamHouse encrypts stream keys at rest and only uses them at broadcast time.
What if my key stops working?
It may have been reset. Grab the current key from Settings → Stream and update your streaming tool.
