Publish my feed to Instagram

The first step to make a Livestream on Instagram is to enable your account to make live streaming. You need to verify directly with Instagram if you are whitelisted to publish. If not you need to ask them to get the rights. Note that not all the Instagram accounts allow you this possibility.

This is a pro (Advanced) fonctionality. Please check with your sales person to make sure your LiveU Studio account is correctly setted up.

After that, to publish from LiveU Studio to instagram just follow these steps:

  • Enter the Publish menu (A).
  • Add or edit publishing points (B).
  • In MPEG-TS (C).
  • Add a publishing point (D).
  • Select "MPEG-TS over HTTP(s)" (E).
  • You can now open your Instagram streaming editor to copy/paste the Stream Key

  • In a text editor, paste the Instagram Stream Key.
  • Add the following command before your Stream Key:
    • ffmpeg -threads 0 -y $easylive_stats $easylive_inputraw -vsync 1 -af aresample=async=1000 -vf "transpose=1" -c:a aac -b:a 128k -ac 2 -ar 44100 -c:v h264 -r 25 -x264opts keyint=50:min-keyint=25 -g 50 -pix_fmt yuv420p -profile:v main -preset:v medium -tune:v zerolatency -thread_type frame -b:v 3584k -bufsize 3584k -minrate 3584k -maxrate 3584k -f flv "rtmps://live-upload.instagram.com:443/rtmp/
  • Add a " at the end of your stream key.

Now your command line should look like that (with your own custom Stream Key):

ffmpeg -threads 0 -y $easylive_stats $easylive_inputraw -vsync 1 -af aresample=async=1000 -vf "transpose=1" -c:a aac -b:a 128k -ac 2 -ar 44100 -c:v h264 -r 25 -x264opts keyint=50:min-keyint=25 -g 50 -pix_fmt yuv420p -profile:v main -preset:v medium -tune:v zerolatency -thread_type frame -b:v 3584k -bufsize 3584k -minrate 3584k -maxrate 3584k -f flv "rtmps://live-upload.instagram.com:443/rtmp/1793423250373?s_bl=1&s_sw=0&s_tids=1&s_vt=ig&a=fvkiqEQuAjjjpf"
  • Copy this command line into the new LiveU Studio publishing point and save it.
  • Select the publishing point and start publishing.

Don't forget to stop your live by clicking on end to stop invoicing and publishing.
