What Switchboard Live is

Switchboard Live sends one video feed from a streaming encoder to multiple destinations simultaneously. It accepts RTMP, RTMPS, and SRT inputs and supports unlimited native and custom RTMP destinations. Native destinations include Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, X, LinkedIn, and Rumble. PartnerShare lets guests or partner organizations stream events to their own social channels without sharing passwords. Streams can be scheduled with destination-specific titles, thumbnails, and descriptions, and post-event analytics are available. The service supports live, scheduled, and pre-recorded streams, Facebook Pages, and an API used by its web application. Compatible encoders named by the maker include OBS, vMix, LiveU, Ecamm, Zoom, Wirecast, and Blackmagic Design. Plans are paid, pricing is available on request, and a free trial is offered. SMB includes one RTMP input and two team members. Public Sector includes one RTMP or SRT input, three members, and a 30-day archive. Enterprise includes three inputs and 24/7 streams.
