Streamrun Go

What's included

Dual Format and Dual Stream on Streamrun Go

Streamrun Go sets up Twitch Dual Format automatically and generates the vertical version of your stream in the cloud, so desktop viewers get the horizontal stream and mobile viewers get the vertical one without a second device or canvas.

For IRL and other general content, Streamrun uses subject tracking to keep the vertical framing centered on the main action. For gaming content, Streamrun can automatically extract the webcam area and build a mobile-friendly vertical layout around it. For more information, see Twitch Dual Format Streaming and Automatic Vertical Framing.

Streamrun Go also supports YouTube Dual Stream, which delivers a horizontal and a vertical version of your stream on YouTube. YouTube uses a separate stream key for each orientation, so enable Dual stream in YouTube Studio, then add both the horizontal and the vertical key to your YouTube destination. Once the destination has a vertical key, selecting it as your only destination on the Go page starts a Dual Stream session, and Streamrun generates the vertical version for you.

Chat overlay

Streamrun Go can render your live chat on top of your stream in the cloud. The overlay supports Twitch, Kick, and YouTube chat. Turn it on from your Go page before you start the session and choose where the chat sits: in the top or bottom corner on the left or right side, or along the full height of either side.

The channel comes from the destination you have connected, so there is nothing to configure. Because the overlay is added on the server, it costs your phone no battery or processing power, and it works the same whether you stream from an app, an encoder, or straight from a camera.

• Available for Twitch, Kick, and YouTube destinations. Other platforms can still be used as destinations, they just have no chat to show.
• The overlay shows one channel at a time. When you multistream, you choose which destination the chat comes from.
• Available on horizontal streams. A vertical canvas has no room for a chat column beside the video.

Failover and BRB

Under Failover and BRB on your Go page, choose what viewers see when your input drops: the default BRB image, your own PNG image, or video clips played in random order. To show the same content during a break, select BRB in Remote Control while your inputs stay connected.

Starting soon scene

Show a PNG image or play video clips while you get ready to go on camera. Once you add a starting soon scene, your stream opens on it automatically.

1. On your Go page, select Add on the Stream starting soon card.
2. Choose Show PNG image or Play videos, then select or upload your files. You can also use Create with AI to generate an image.
3. Start your stream. When you are ready to go on camera, select Input 1 or Input 2 in Remote Control. Select Stream starting to return to the scene at any time.

Use a 1920x1080 image for horizontal streams and 1080x1920 for vertical streams. Videos play in random order when you add more than one. Streams started through the API also open on your starting soon scene. To start on Input 1 again, remove the image or videos from the card.

Shared inputs

Both Go inputs can be shared with another Streamrun user or organization, and either input can use a stream someone has shared with you. This is how two people co-stream with Go: one shares their input, the other selects it as Input 2 and switches between their own camera and the guest while live.

• To share one of your Go inputs, open Settings, select Manage on the Shared inputs row, then Share input, and pick Streamrun Go as the configuration.
• To use a share, select Use shared input on Input 1 or Input 2 on the Go page and pick it from the list. The stream key of that input is hidden while a share is selected, and the choice is remembered for your next session.
• The shared input follows the source: if the other account streams vertical, your input is vertical too. Your failover image or videos still apply when it drops.
• If the share is revoked or expires, the input goes back to your own stream key.

Limitations

Streamrun Go is designed for simplicity with unlimited streaming hours at a flat fee. Some standard Streamrun Pro features are not included.

• One live session per account.
• No access to the Streamrun Editor or advanced element settings. Additional elements cannot be added.
• Outputs start automatically when you begin a session and stop when you end it. No per-destination controls.
• You can either stream Twitch Dual Format or YouTube Dual Stream (Horizontal + Vertical) with automatic vertical framing, or multistream a standard stream to up to 2 destinations. A dual session uses a single destination, so selecting a second destination turns it off.
• Twitch Dual Format is limited to 30 fps, with a maximum resolution of 1080p for the horizontal stream and 720p for the vertical stream.
• YouTube Dual Stream needs a YouTube destination with both a horizontal and a vertical stream key, created with Dual stream enabled in YouTube Studio.
• Encoding settings are shared between both outputs and horizontal Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting is not available.
• The chat overlay is available on horizontal streams only, and shows one channel at a time from Twitch, Kick, or YouTube.
• If both inputs are offline for 15 minutes, the instance stops automatically.
• Maximum stream length: 24 hours per session.
