Perhaps you like the specific features that it has to offer and don’t want to give them up. Whatever the case, you have options with TikiLIVE. Choose from these popular broadcasters:

• Shadow-Technologies.TV Web Broadcaster
• Adobe’s Flash Media Live Encoder
• Telestream’s Wirecast
• VidBlaster Broadcast
• NewTek’s TriCaster

When logged into your broadcaster dashboard you’ll find the 3^rd party broadcaster configurations under “Recording Settings”. Either download the configuration file (XML) and load it into the broadcaster of your choice or copy and paste the broadcasting profile data provided. If you require a different broadcaster than is on our list and interested in using, just ask! If it can stream RTMP, or UDP then we can add it to the list and you may use that too!
