Broadcaster App from BoxCast
When you have an account with BoxCast, you can visit to the App Store on your iPhone or iPad, and then download the Broadcaster App from BoxCast for free! Once downloaded and logged in, you will see the Broadcaster App inside your dashboard and under the Sources tab. If in a free trial with BoxCast, you can use this app as well.

Any RTMP-compatible Encoder (Wirecast, OBS, VidiU, etc.)
If you plan on streaming with a RTMP Encoder, you will first want to click on the Sources tab in the BoxCast Dashboard.
Second, click on the green +Add Source button.
Next, most RTMP encoders will fall under the Streaming Software tab, but feel free to explore. If you do not see your encoder represented, click on the generic option, RTMP.
Finally, your RTMP source will contain a unique address, as dictated by the Server URL and Stream Key.
