Get started in 3 steps

1. Create your account on vpuls3.tv (or sign in with VPZONE).
2. Pick your source: your encoder (OBS, Streamlabs…) or your Twitch channel.
3. Add and enable your destinations (VPZONE, YouTube, Kick…), then go live. VPULS3 relays everything automatically.

Tip : Playing on Xbox or PlayStation? Jump to the “Xbox and PlayStation” section: it's even simpler.

The dashboard

The dashboard gathers everything you need during a live. Here are its five areas:

1 · Live preview

Your live video, in real time (muted by default, with a button to unmute). The LIVE badge, uptime and received tracks (RTMP, H264, audio) are overlaid.

2 · Metrics

Incoming bitrate (kbps), active outputs, protocol in use (RTMP, SRT or TWITCH) and signal health (Excellent or Unstable).

3 · Destinations

Your platforms, their real-time state, uptime and a switch to enable or cut each one.

4 · Source

Where your stream comes from: your encoder (RTMP/SRT) or your Twitch channel.

5 · Your input

The server, stream key and SRT URL to paste into your software. Below it, the incoming bitrate chart.

Tip : Health turns “Unstable” as soon as an output reconnects: check the destination list to see which one.

Choosing your source

Encoder (RTMP/SRT)

Always available. Send your stream from OBS, Streamlabs, vMix or any encoder to the VPULS3 server. Lowest latency.

Twitch

Stream to Twitch as usual; VPULS3 detects your live and relays it to your other destinations. Click the Twitch tab then “Link my Twitch account” the first time.

• With the Twitch source, keep “Auto-start” on: your outputs start by themselves 30–60 seconds after your live begins.
• Twitch destinations are skipped while Twitch is your source (to avoid a loop).

Setting up OBS (or another encoder)

1. In OBS: Settings → Stream → Service: “Custom”.
2. Server: paste the “RTMP server” shown on the dashboard (rtmp://in1.vpuls3.tv:1935/live).
3. Stream key: paste your VPULS3 key (copy button). Never share it.
4. Click “Start Streaming”. The dashboard switches to LIVE within seconds.

Video

H.264, keyframe every 2 s

Bitrate

6,000 kbps max to stay compatible with every platform

Audio

AAC, 160 kbps

Unstable connection (4G/5G)

Use the SRT URL instead of RTMP: same key, better loss resilience

Adding destinations

1. Click “+ Add” and pick the platform.
2. VPZONE, YouTube or Kick: click “Connect my … account”; the destination is created automatically, no key to copy.
3. Other platforms: paste the server URL (prefilled when possible) and your platform stream key.
4. Turn the switch on. Only enabled destinations receive your live.

Live

The platform is receiving your stream.

Connecting…

The output is starting (a few seconds).

Reconnecting

The platform dropped: VPULS3 restarts that output automatically without touching the others.

Error

Too many failures: check the key or URL (hover the status for details).

Ready

Enabled, waiting for your live.

Inactive

Switched off: this platform won't receive the live.

Tip : You can add the same platform several times (for example two YouTube channels).

Xbox and PlayStation

On console there's nothing complicated: stream straight to Twitch and VPULS3 handles the rest.

1. On your console, link your Twitch account and start broadcasting to Twitch (Xbox: Guide → Capture & share → Live streaming. PlayStation: Create button → Broadcast → Twitch).
2. In VPULS3, Source card: choose “Twitch” and link your Twitch account (once). Keep “Auto-start” on.
3. Enable the destinations you want (VPZONE, YouTube, Kick…). That's it: every time you go live on Twitch, they start automatically.

Console mode: on a console you only see Twitch chat. Turn on “Console mode” in the Source card (Twitch tab): messages from your other platforms are posted into your Twitch chat, prefixed with their origin, for example “[VPZONE] name: message”.

Compatible platforms

VPZONE, YouTube and Kick, as long as the destination was linked with “Connect my … account” (OAuth). That's how we identify your exact channel; a destination added with just a key isn't synced.

Twitch permission

The first time, click “Allow chat sync”: VPULS3 asks Twitch for permission to write in your chat (and only that).

On the dashboard

With Console mode on, each destination shows a “Chat” badge when its chat is synced.

Delay

A few seconds. Your own messages on VPZONE aren't echoed.

Tip : Expect a 30–60 second delay between Twitch and the other platforms: that's normal, the stream goes through Twitch first.

FAQ and troubleshooting

OBS can't connect

Check the server and key (copy them with the buttons). If you regenerated your key, update it in OBS.

An output stays on “Reconnecting”

The key or URL for that platform is probably wrong, or the platform rejects the bitrate (Kick caps bitrate per account). Lower the bitrate or check the key.

YouTube receives nothing

Open the YouTube Live Control Room (studio.youtube.com) before going live. If connecting YouTube says live streaming isn't enabled, enable it in YouTube Studio (up to 24 h).

X: stream received but not published

X requires publishing the broadcast in Media Studio (Producer) on its side.

Twitch source: nothing starts

Make sure “Auto-start” is on and at least one destination is enabled. Starting takes 30–60 s.
