Disconnect Protection

Streamrun keeps your outgoing stream live on platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and Kick even if your connection drops or your device goes offline. Your broadcast continues without interruption, chat stays active, and viewers are less likely to leave. Disconnect protection is built into Streamrun and requires no separate setup.

How it works

Streamrun acts as a relay between your streaming device and your platforms. When your device loses its connection, the Streamrun server stays connected to Twitch, YouTube, and your other destinations. The outgoing stream continues while your device reconnects. Once reconnected, your feed resumes automatically.

This is especially important for IRL streaming, where mobile connections are unpredictable. Every disconnect that reaches the platform ends the live stream and resets viewer counts. Disconnect protection prevents that.

No-signal image

While your device is offline, viewers see whatever the output was showing last. To show a dedicated "no signal" image instead, add one to your Input Stream element settings. This replaces the frozen frame with a clean placeholder while you reconnect.

Tip: use an image that says "We'll be back shortly" to keep your audience informed and reduce viewer drop-off during connectivity issues.

Automatic Failover

The Failover element extends disconnect protection with active monitoring. It watches your input's health and can respond automatically: switching to a backup input, showing a fallback image, or playing a pre-recorded video when the primary source drops or its bitrate falls below a threshold.

Failover also supports webhooks — for example, to post a message in your chat when low-bitrate conditions occur. Each failover feature can be used independently.
