Our recommendations

For having the highest redundancy, we use the rule of two

Two ISP Connections

Sending a backup stream from the same ISP leaves your internet connection as a single point of failure. For higher resiliency use connections from two different providers. This way if one provider has a problem, only one stream will be affected.

Two encoders

Most encoders (e.g., OBS) do not support sending two streams. In this case, you must run two encoder instances. The second instance should use the backup stream key and point to a different ingest endpoint than the first instance.

Two Ingest Server

To increase the diversity of network paths from your encoder to Twitch, we recommend streaming your primary and backup feeds to two different ingest servers. This minimises risk of network congestion in transit and also offers protection against an issue at the ingest server itself.

Two electric circuits

One of the last part reundancy is electricity, ideally your encoders should be separated to another circuit or phase.

Recommended Ingest Endpoints For You

These ingests endpoints are selected for you based on the optimal network paths detected from Twitch to your device.
