Creating a Stream Router

Before creating a stream router, log in to the Blackmagic Cloud account profile where you would like your stream router to appear. You can create a stream router in your personal profile or in an organization profile. Once logged in, click the ‘stream router’ icon in the Blackmagic Cloud dashboard.

If you are logged in to your personal profile you will automatically receive an invitation to create a stream router free trial. This stream router includes four inputs, four standard outputs and one streaming output. Click ‘add free stream router’ to continue. You will have the option to name your stream router and set the router region on the next screen.
