What external IP address do I give to remote presenters for direct stream connections?

To find your external IP address for remote presenters using direct stream connections, you can visit https://whatismyipaddress.com/ to check your current external IP address. This is the address you'll provide to remote users connecting with Icecast-compatible encoders like PlayIt Live, BUTT or Rocket Broadcaster.

When setting up direct stream connections in PlayIt Live, remote users will need these connection details:

  • Server Type: Icecast
  • Server Address: Your external IP address (from whatismyipaddress.com)
  • Server Port: The port specified in your PlayIt Live priority stream settings
  • Username: PlayIt Live username (created under Manage > Users)
  • Password: The password for that PlayIt Live user
  • Mount: /

Remember that you'll also need to configure your firewall to allow connections on the specified port and may need to set up port forwarding on your network router to route incoming traffic to your PlayIt Live computer.
