OBS Multi-Stream Alternative Plugin

If you have a need to multi-stream to more than just LFG at the same time, and the Aitum Multi-Stream OBS plugin (we have a video on using this plugin with LFG) is causing you some problems, we have an alternative! (at the moment it is only available on Windows, we are hoping Mac will be available soon)

The Multiple RTMP outputs plugin is a great alternative and has been reliably used since it’s release in 2020! It’s just been updated by the developer to v0.7.3.1 so that it works with OBS 32. You will need to download the latest version (as of 1st Oct 2025 only the Windows plugin has been updated to v0.7.3.1 to work with OBS 32) and install it (download the exe file to make the installation quick and painless).

Once the plugin is installed, open OBS, click DOCKS at the top and select MULTIPLE OUTPUT.

The Multiple Output dock will now appear and look like this

Click ‘Add new target’ and enter the name of the target, in this example we will be setting up the output for LFG.

Once you give the output a name, you can enter the RTMP server and stream key.

We recommend leaving the Video Settings and Audio Settings sections as default until you test, at which time you can look to make changes based on results.

To start the LFG stream when the main stream starts, make sure the Sync Start with OBS and Sync Stop with OBS boxes are ticked, this means you won’t need to manually start or stop them.

You can now click OK to save the connection, once closed it will look like this.

When you go live on OBS, the Multiple Output will look like the below. It shows stream duration, bandwidth currently in use and FPS rate.

Here’s a cleaner, more concise version with expanded clarity for streamers and mentors:

Bandwidth Reminder for Multi-Channel Streaming
Each additional streaming connection increases your total upload usage. To avoid buffering, dropped frames, or audio glitches, ensure your upload bandwidth can handle all simultaneous streams.

🔸 Best Practice: Keep total streaming usage under 50% of your available upload bandwidth to allow headroom for fluctuations and background tasks.
🔸 Test Your Speed: Use SPEEDTEST.NET or FAST.COM to check your current upload capacity.
🔸 Quick Conversion: 8000 kbps = 8 Mbps (divide kbps by 1000).
🔸 Example: Two channels streaming at 4000 kbps each = 8000 kbps total. You’ll need at least 16 Mbps upload to stay within the 50% safety margin.
