Multi-Use RTMP Destinations allow you to save RTMP Server URLs and RTMP stream keys so that they can be used at any point. This works with any unchanging stream key from your destination. There are often described as "static," "consistent," or "persistent" stream keys depending on your target destination.
How to Find RTMP URL & Stream Key
This will depend on what service you are using but here are examples of a few popular services:
Twitch:
The Stream Key and URL are in different locations on Twitch. More on Streaming to Twitch
YouTube:
Creator Studio > Live Streaming > Stream Now
Facebook:
Live Video > Connect
*Make sure you click on "Use a persistent Stream Key" to get a Multi-Use RTMP Key from Facebook.

Streaming to a Multi-Use RTMP Destination
