You'll want to create a custom BoxCast profile inside vMix by clicking Add and naming it BoxCast. This will save your Server URL and Stream Key inside vMix.

Click Start or Save and Close. If you select Save and Close, you can start the stream by clicking the Stream button on the bottom of the screen.

Things to Remember

  • Once you input the Channel RTMP settings, you won't need to input them every time you stream as long as you created a profile.

  • The broadcast will begin at the scheduled time in the BoxCast Dashboard. For example, if you schedule a broadcast to start at 10 a.m. and hit the Stream button in vMix at 9:45, the broadcast will begin streaming through BoxCast at 10 a.m.

  • vMix is a Windows/PC only product unless you install Windows on your Mac.
