Streamate is an established cam platform — and it's one of the destinations pre-configured inside SplitCam's channel list, so setup is quicker than a manual RTMP entry: pick Streamate, paste the key, done.
SplitCam is free live-streaming software for Windows and macOS. Download it and run the installer — no signup, no card, no watermark, no time limit. It is the encoder that sends your video to Streamate.
Add your webcam, overlays and filters in SplitCam before you fetch the key.
On Streamate, open SM Connect, accept the terms, click Start Show on the left and close the window that opens — then copy your streaming key. In SplitCam, open Stream Settings → Add Channel, pick Streamate from the list and paste the key. A green slider confirms the connection.
In SplitCam open Stream Settings → Add Channel, pick Streamate from the built-in list and paste the SM Connect key — no manual RTMP URL needed. Lock the resolution to 1080p.
Press Go Live in SplitCam — a green slider confirms the connection. The feed is adaptive, so a lower bitrate on a still shot is normal.
You don't need a manual RTMP URL — SplitCam has Streamate in its Add Channel list, so just select it and paste the key.
After Start Show, Streamate opens a window — close it; you only needed it to reveal the streaming key.
SM Connect's Video Resolution field can jump to 1440, which isn't actually delivered and quietly drops your quality — set it to 1080p by hand. A bitrate that falls on a still shot is normal: Streamate's feed is adaptive.
Streamate's feed already drops bitrate under strain — don't add Wi-Fi instability on top; run an Ethernet cable.
Start a short private show through SM Connect to confirm the green slider and your scene before going public.
Yes — Streamate appears in SplitCam's Add Channel list, so you select it instead of entering an RTMP URL by hand.
SM Connect → accept terms → Start Show → close the pop-up window → copy the key.
Yes — free, no watermark, no time limit; and as Streamate is a built-in SplitCam channel there's no separate encoder cost either.
Streamate sets no hard cap — 3,500–6,000 Kbps at 1080p works well. The feed is adaptive, so a lower bitrate on a still shot is normal, not a fault.
Free software. No watermark, no signup. Set up once, go live in one click.
