How to find your Instagram Live Stream URL and Stream Key

Instagram Live Producer can show a Stream URL and Stream key for eligible professional accounts on desktop. Teleprompter Automatic uses those RTMP details; it does not generate or refresh Instagram keys for you.

Before you start

Use a desktop browser and sign in at Instagram.com. If the Live Producer option is not visible, check that the account is eligible and set up as a professional account where Instagram offers Live Producer.

Find the Instagram Stream URL and Stream key

  1. Open Instagram.com on desktop.
  2. Choose Create, then Live video.
  3. Set the live title and audience if Instagram asks for it.
  4. Copy the Stream URL and Stream key from the Live Producer screen.
  5. Keep the Instagram Live Producer tab open while you connect from Teleprompter Automatic.

Use the details in Teleprompter Automatic

  1. Open your script and choose Live Stream.
  2. Select Instagram.
  3. Paste the Instagram Stream URL into Stream URL.
  4. Paste the Stream key into Stream Key.
  5. Start streaming from Teleprompter Automatic, then confirm the preview and start the broadcast in Instagram if required.

Refresh the key for each session

Instagram stream details can be session-specific. If a key stops working, create a fresh Live Producer session and paste the new values.
