# How to Stream Using Twitch or YouTube

It is possible to use Livepeer to multistream to a number of channels at the same time. This is super easy to set up and offers the ability to stream in Mona, YouTube, Twitch etc at the same time.

* Follow the previous tutorial to set up OBS Studio and Livepeer.
* Once you have created a new Stream in Livepeer you can see a section to the right called multistream. Select the 'Create' button.

## Alternative approaches

Getting the YouTube or Twitch .m3u8 URL directly seems to be against their Terms of Service and therefore it is more difficult to get the link.&#x20;

You would need to get this via other methods separate from the YouTube/Twitch channel. These methods do seem less reliable and more complicated than using Livepeer.&#x20;
