Connecting BAND via RTMP Presets
Windows, Mac
RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) is a protocol used to transmit video, audio, and data from the PRISM app to streaming platform servers, requiring both a stream URL and a stream key.
The PRISM app support a login-based method for BAND. However, You may rarely experience login issues within PRISM app with various reasons. Most login failures are resolved within a few hours, you might want to connect temporary while than.
BAND does not provide a static stream key, meaning that the stream key expires when you end a live stream or close the BAND live streaming start page. You will need to repeat this process for each BAND live stream to obtain a valid stream key.
Please note that BAND’s stream key is only valid for 3 minutes. If you do not start live streaming within 3 minutes of acquiring the stream key, you must obtain a new one.

Click the More button in the upper-left corner, then select 'Add channels' from the popup menu.
Select Add Custom Channel in the Add Channel window.
