Many streamers use OBS to stream to various platforms. Most of these platforms support the Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) standards that OBS uses as the default standard. However, RTMP only works with Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which is a connection-oriented protocol.<\/p>\n

There are, however, some niche scenarios, in which streamers might have to use a datagram-oriented protocol such as User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for broadcast and multicast type of network transmission. Although it can be done with OBS, it requires some customization. In this article, we will examine how users can stream from OBS to another device using UDP and a superior alternative.<\/p>\n

When Is UDP Used for Streaming with OBS?<\/h2>\n
