# Setup & Config

Configure live streaming tools including RTMP, OBS Studio, and Dacast integration for your EventX sessions.

## Overview

This section covers the technical setup and configuration of live streaming for EventX events. Learn how to use RTMP streaming, configure OBS Studio with optimal settings, and understand Dacast requirements for high-quality streaming.

## Getting Started

* [OBS Setup Config](/knowledge-base/livestream/setup-and-config/obs-setup-config.md) — Optimal OBS Studio settings including keyframe interval and bitrate recommendations

## Advanced

* [Optimizing Live Streaming with Dacast: Key Insights and Requirements](/knowledge-base/livestream/setup-and-config/optimizing-live-streaming-with-dacast-key-insights-and-requirements.md) — Bitrate calculation, encoder settings, and pre-streaming checklist

## Common Questions

**Q: What is the latency for RTMP streaming on EventX?** A: Expect approximately 15 seconds of delay during RTMP playback. WebRTC (WHIP/WHEP) offers sub-3-second latency.

**Q: What is the recommended keyframe interval for OBS?** A: Set the keyframe interval to 2 seconds for most streaming scenarios. This ensures stable playback and fast join times for viewers.

**Q: What bitrate should I use for Dacast streaming?** A: Maximum 4 Mbps, and the bitrate should not exceed 50% of your total upload speed.
