StreamRay has an unusual external-encoder setup — it hands you the stream URL inside the broadcast chat window and uses no separate stream key. Free SplitCam handles that URL-only flow fine.
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 StreamRay.
Add your webcam and overlays in SplitCam before you enable StreamRay's OBS Broadcaster.
On StreamRay, click Broadcast Now twice, open the Other menu, choose OBS Broadcaster and Save and Close. StreamRay then posts your stream URL in the chat window — copy it from there. Leave SplitCam's stream-key field empty; StreamRay authenticates by URL only.
Copy the stream URL StreamRay posts in the chat window into SplitCam's server field. StreamRay authenticates by URL only, so leave the stream-key field empty.
Press Go Live in SplitCam to start broadcasting to StreamRay. Test privately first to confirm the URL pasted correctly.
StreamRay doesn't show the stream URL in a settings box — it posts it into your broadcast chat window. Copy it from there.
StreamRay uses no separate key — only the URL. Don't try to fill the key field in SplitCam.
StreamRay authenticates by URL only — a wired link avoids a mid-show reconnect that would send you back to the chat window for the URL.
Do a short private StreamRay test to confirm the URL pasted correctly and the scene looks right.
After enabling OBS Broadcaster, StreamRay posts the stream URL into the chat window — copy it from chat.
StreamRay authenticates by URL only — leave SplitCam's stream-key field empty.
Yes — free, no watermark, no time limit, which suits StreamRay's URL-only flow where you just paste one link and broadcast.
StreamRay states no official ceiling — aim for 3,500–6,000 Kbps at 1080p and run SplitCam's speed test, since the URL-only setup gives no bitrate feedback.
Free software. No watermark, no signup. Set up once, go live in one click.
