Start a 24/7 live stream from pre-recorded videos in three steps
Looping Stream moves the continuous broadcasting workload from your computer to the cloud. You prepare the media and destination once, while the service handles playback for the active broadcast.
-
Upload and prepare your media
Add your own videos or audio files to cloud storage. Compatible files can be optimized for the selected streaming preset without a separate processing fee.
-
Create a playlist and destination
Choose one file or arrange multiple videos in order, then add the RTMP destination and stream key provided by YouTube or another supported platform.
-
Launch and monitor the stream
Start the broadcast from the dashboard. The cloud worker sends the stream continuously, so OBS and your personal computer do not need to remain online.
Use cases
What can you broadcast with a pre-recorded live streaming platform?
Continuous streaming is useful when the program is prepared in advance and should remain available for viewers across time zones. Always use media that you own or are authorized to broadcast.
Music and ambient channels
Run authorized music, nature sounds, meditation, study or relaxation programming as a continuous YouTube live stream.
Education and training
Repeat lessons, conference recordings, product training and educational playlists for an international audience.
Podcasts and talk programs
Turn recorded interviews, discussions and audio-first programs into a scheduled or always-on video stream.
Events and promotional programming
Broadcast approved event replays, product demonstrations and branded video playlists without operating a local encoder.
Cloud instead of a dedicated PC
Why creators use cloud streaming without OBS
OBS is excellent for interactive live production. For a long-running stream made entirely from prepared files, a cloud service can remove the need for a dedicated computer, constant local upload bandwidth and manual restarts.
- The broadcast continues when your browser is closed and your computer is turned off.
- Uploaded media can be reused in different playlists without uploading it for every stream.
- One dashboard manages storage, processing, playlists, destinations and current stream status.
- Plans support one, four or eight simultaneous streams with clearly defined storage limits.
- You keep control of your platform account, stream key, visibility settings and content rights.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about 24/7 pre-recorded live streaming
Do I need to keep OBS or my computer running?
No. After the broadcast is configured and started, the stream runs from cloud infrastructure. Your computer is only needed to manage files and settings through the dashboard.
Can I stream pre-recorded videos to YouTube as a live stream?
Yes. You can use the RTMP stream key created in YouTube Studio. You are responsible for configuring the YouTube event and following YouTube policies, including rules about repetitive content and copyrighted media.
Can several videos play one after another?
Yes. You can create a playlist from uploaded files and arrange the playback order. The playlist can repeat continuously for an always-on stream.
Does video optimization cost extra?
Media optimization is included with the service. Files are prepared using the selected preset when processing is required for stable streaming.
Can I stream to platforms other than YouTube?
The service can work with destinations that provide compatible RTMP server details and a stream key. Availability can depend on the platform and selected configuration.
Is a 24/7 stream guaranteed never to disconnect?
No internet service can promise zero interruptions. The system is designed for long-running broadcasts and recovery from temporary errors, while platform outages, invalid keys or source-file problems can still stop a stream.
