DJI Live BridgeHow to stream a DJI drone on Twitch
Copy your primary stream key from the Twitch Creator Dashboard → Settings → Stream, add a Custom RTMP destination in DJI Live Bridge with the server rtmp://live.twitch.tv/app and that key, send the drone's picture from DJI Fly to the app, and press START LIVE. Twitch goes live as soon as it receives the stream.
In short
- Twitch is added as a Custom RTMP destination: server rtmp://live.twitch.tv/app plus your stream key.
- The stream key is under Creator Dashboard → Settings → Stream and stays the same until you reset it.
- Use Horizontal 16:9: Twitch viewers mostly watch in landscape.
- 6 Mbps at 1080p30 with 2-second keyframes fits Twitch's guidance.
- Twitch starts the broadcast as soon as the stream arrives — there is no separate Go live button.

Streaming to Twitch and other platforms at once
DJI Live Bridge can send the same picture to Twitch, YouTube and others at the same time. Twitch's rules on simulcasting have changed over the years and can differ for Affiliates and Partners, so check your current agreement before you stream to several platforms.
Common problems
- Connection failed: check that the server URL is exactly
rtmp://live.twitch.tv/appand the key has no extra spaces. - Viewers see buffering: the upload is not steady enough. Close other uploads or use a wired connection for the computer.
- The key was leaked: reset it in the Creator Dashboard and update it in the app.
