-## Method 1: Streaming directly via CDN
-
-If you have your own media server that produces a stream in HLS format, you will need one CDN resource with special settings for playlists (.m3u8) and chunks (.ts). For more information about settings, see the article [Live streaming via CDN using the HLS protocol](/cdn/cdn-resource-options/configure-live-streams-and-video-delivery-via-cdn-only-for-paid-tariffs).
-
-You can protect the stream with a token. The token to encrypt the streaming is configured via a script on the origin server, enabling the Secure Token option in the CDN Resource settings according to the "[Configure and use Secure Token](/cdn/cdn-resource-options/security/use-a-secure-token/configure-and-use-secure-token)" guide.
-
-## Method 2: Streaming via the video streaming with CDN
-
-Use this method if a stream from your server is not in HLS format.
-
-Streaming via our Video Streaming has advantages and additional features, such as:
-
-  * [Live stream recording](/streaming-platform/live-streaming/record-your-live-streams-and-save-them-as-videos) records the broadcast and saves it as VOD.
-  * [DVR](/streaming-platform/live-streaming/pause-and-rewind-the-live-streams) allows you to rewind the stream, stop it and return to viewing it later.
-  * [Restreaming](/streaming-platform/live-streaming/create-and-configure-a-restream-to-social-media) allows you to send a broadcast to several media services simultaneously, such as Facebook and YouTube.
-  * [Own player and statistics](/streaming-platform/extra-features/customize-appearance-of-the-built-in-player) allow you to collect statistics on views, geography, and popularity of individual broadcasts.
-
-
-
-The formats and specifications supported by the Video Streaming are described in the [article](/streaming-platform/live-streams-and-videos-protocols-and-codecs/what-initial-parameters-of-your-live-streams-and-videos-we-can-accept).
-
-When you stream via the Video Streaming, there are two ways to send us the stream: PUSH and PULL.
-
-  * To use PULL, you need a server with a stream in RTMP (or other) format. The stream is sent to our servers, which convert it into HLS.
-  * Use PUSH if you stream directly from your computer, camera, or any other device using third-party [software](/streaming-platform/live-streaming/push-live-streams-software/push-live-streams-via-obs). In this case, there is a unique key in the Gcore Customer Portal that you insert into your program, and the stream is sent to us. The Video Streaming converts it into HLS and sends it to end-users.
-
-
-
-We can receive SRT streams in either PULL or PUSH format. To send us PULL-SRT, just specify a link in the required protocol in the URL field. If you want to get a PUSH link to send SRT streams to us, write to support via [support@gcore.com](mailto:support@gcore.com) or your manager. We will set up an SRT-PUSH link on your account.

+
+FFmpeg is a free and open-source command-line tool for recording, screencasting, and live streaming. It’s suitable for video game streaming, blogging, educational content, and more.
+
+FFmpeg links your device (e.g, a laptop or a PC) to different streaming platforms (e.g., Gcore Video Streaming, YouTube, Twitch, etc.). It takes an image captured by a camera, converts it into a video stream, and then sends it to the streaming platform.
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Install FFmpeg on your device. Follow the download instructions on [the official website](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html).
+
+2. To get the server URL and stream key, go to the [Streaming list](https://streaming.gcore.com/streaming/list), open the **Live stream settings** you need, and copy the relevant value from the **URLs for the encoder** section.
+
+For example, if you see these values on the **Live stream settings** page:
+
+![Live stream settings](https://assets.gcore.pro/docs/streaming-platform/live-streaming/push-live-streams-software/push-live-streams-via-obs/11774973436177.png)
+
+Concatenate them to form the full RTMP URL for the stream:
+
+```
+rtmp://vp-push-ix1.gvideo.co/in/400448?cdf2a7ccf990e464c2b…
+```
+
+3. Open the command line interface (CLI) on your device and run the following command:
+
+```
+ffmpeg -f {input format params} -f flv {RTMP URL}
+```
+
+## Configure the stream parameters for optimal performance
+
+We recommend configuring the stream parameters you will send to our server to ensure optimal streaming performance. You can adjust these settings via the CLI parameters of FFmpeg.
+
+Example of a command line for streaming via FFmpeg with the recommended parameters:
+
+```
+ffmpeg -f {input format params} \
+  -c:v libx264 -preset veryfast -b:v 2000000 \
+  -profile:v baseline -vf format=yuv420p \
+  -crf 23 -g 60 \
+  -b:a 128k -ar 44100 -ac 2 \
+  -f flv {RTMP URL}
+```
