Kick is a brand new streaming platform which launched in October 2022. Kick hopes to compete with other popular streaming platforms like Twitch.tv and YouTube. Like other platforms, it allows streamers to broadcast their favorite games and includes different categories to stream in. Big streamers including the controversial Adin Ross have confirmed their move to Kick with others like Felix “xQc” Lengyel not ruling out a move. Kick does not demand exclusivity from its streamers, giving them the flexibility other streaming platforms do not currently provide. Here is how to set up an account and stream on Kick. 

How to stream on Kick

Kick supports all major live streaming applications including OBS (Open Broadcaster Software), XSplit and SLOBS. Let’s look at how you can set up your stream using OBS. Before you start streaming using OBS, you need to create an account on Kick. Head to the Kick website and sign up using the button on the top right corner of the page.

Sign up for Kick from the homepage.
