Everything you need to know about 24/7 live streaming

Stream House is a cloud platform that broadcasts your pre-recorded videos to YouTube Live 24/7. You upload MP4 files, build a playlist, connect your YouTube channel, and we handle the encoding and streaming — no OBS, no dedicated computer, no server management.

Creators who want to re-broadcast their own content, music channels running non-stop stations, educational channels looping lessons, meditation / lo-fi / ambient streams, and anyone who wants a 24/7 presence on YouTube without running a dedicated PC.

No. Stream House runs entirely in the cloud. Once your videos are uploaded and your stream is started, you can close your laptop and the broadcast keeps running from our infrastructure.

If your videos are already rendered, most creators go live in under ten minutes: create an account, upload a video, build a one-item playlist, paste your YouTube stream key and hit Start.

Yes — as long as you own or are licensed to use the content and comply with YouTube's Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. Stream House connects using the official YouTube Live RTMP ingestion endpoint with your own stream key, so the stream is fully within YouTube's supported workflow.

In YouTube Studio, go to Create → Go Live → Stream. Your stream key appears under the Stream settings section. Copy it and paste it into Stream House when creating your stream.

Yes, if your channel is in the YouTube Partner Program and the stream complies with YouTube's monetization policies. Stream House doesn't touch your monetization — revenue stays 100% between you and YouTube.

Yes. You can connect multiple stream keys and run separate streams concurrently — the number of simultaneous streams depends on your plan.

Stream House supports up to 1080p at 60 FPS, depending on your plan. Free plans stream at 720p with a small watermark, while paid plans unlock Full HD streaming without any watermark.

We auto-select a bitrate that matches YouTube's recommendations for your resolution and framerate — typically 4,500 kbps for 1080p30 and 6,000 kbps for 1080p60. You don't need to configure anything manually.

Stream House re-encodes to AAC at 128–192 kbps stereo, the format YouTube Live expects. Your source videos can use AAC, MP3 or most other common audio codecs.

MP4 (H.264) is recommended. MOV, WebM, MKV and M4V are also supported. For best results, use H.264 video with AAC audio in an MP4 container.

Streams typically appear on YouTube within a few seconds of pressing Start. YouTube itself may take an additional 10–30 seconds to show the live indicator on your channel page.

We target 99.9% uptime. If a stream drops due to infrastructure or network issues, Stream House automatically restarts the broadcast from the current playlist position.

Yes. Add or remove videos, or reorder clips, without interrupting the broadcast. Changes apply to the next queued clip.

The dashboard shows a live status indicator, current playing video, and recent events. YouTube's own Live dashboard complements this with bitrate and ingest metrics.

Yes. When a playlist reaches its last video it automatically starts again from the top, so 24/7 streams run indefinitely without intervention.

We recommend at least 2–4 hours of content to avoid noticeably repetitive loops. Longer and more varied playlists keep average session length higher, which YouTube rewards.

Yes. Upload a JPG or PNG (1280×720 or larger) to your library, and pick it as the stream thumbnail when creating or editing a stream.

Each plan includes a generous storage quota for your media library. If you outgrow it, upgrade to a higher plan — or remove old files directly from the library.

Yes. Stream keys are stored encrypted at rest and only decrypted inside the streaming worker at broadcast time. They are never shown in plaintext in the UI after initial entry and are never shared with any third party.

We use secure password hashing, HTTPS everywhere, and isolated per-user storage so your videos are never accessible to other users. Sign-in is available via email + password or Google OAuth.

Yes — sign up free, no credit card required. The free plan is perfect for testing the workflow. Upgrade anytime to unlock 1080p, watermark removal, more storage and 24/7 streaming.

Yes. Plans are billed monthly or yearly and can be cancelled or changed at any time from the Plan page in your dashboard.

If you're not satisfied in the first 7 days of a paid plan, contact us and we'll issue a full refund — no questions asked.
