# Send Audio To Wordly Via an RTMP Stream

## Streaming Content to Wordly in Real Time

A common way for users and developers to send speech to Wordly for translation is via RTMP streaming, This can be useful when using Wordly to [translate a conference session](https://www.wordly.ai/conference-translation) or webinar, or when embedding Wordly in an iframe.

RTMP streaming is also an option to send speech to Wordly if you're using live streaming from a service, such as Cvent or GoTo.

### RTMP Streaming<https://help.wordly.ai/develop/rtmp-streaming/?hsLang=en#rtmp-streaming>

To use RTMP streaming with Wordly, you'll need:

- Instructions on how to use RTMP streaming with your service.
- A [Wordly streaming URL](https://help.wordly.ai/rtmp-streaming#url).
- A [Wordly stream key](https://help.wordly.ai/rtmp-streaming#key).

### Locating the Wordly URL and key

You can find the Wordly streaming URL and key in your Wordly session.

#### To locate the Wordly URL and key

1. From the Wordly dashboard, select "Sessions" from the left side menu and select your session.
2. Click "Get Links to Join." and expand the "Stream Media to Wordly" box.
3. Copy the Stream URL and Stream Key.

### Streaming the Wordly session

1. Add the Wordly URL and key to your RTMP service.
2. When you're ready to begin, start the RTMP stream. The Wordly session begins automatically.

*Ending the RTMP stream won't end the Wordly session. You'll need to [end the session in the Wordly portal](https://help.wordly.ai/ending-your-wordly-session?hsLang=en).*

 

#### Streaming URL<https://help.wordly.ai/develop/rtmp-streaming/?hsLang=en#streaming-url>

The Wordly streaming URL is:

```
    rtmps://media.wordly.ai/live
```

This will open an encrypted stream to the Wordly RTMP server.

There is an optional, unencrypted RTMP streaming link. However, we strongly encourage RTMPS as it is more secure. If you cannot use the RTMPS link for some reason, the unencrypted streaming URL is:

```
    rtmp://media.wordly.ai:8085/live
```

#### Stream Key<https://help.wordly.ai/develop/rtmp-streaming/?hsLang=en#stream-key>

The stream key tellsWordly the session you are streaming to. This will be the same session as using in the iframe embed (if you are using an iframe). The stream key must also include the passcode to enable access to that session. For example:

```
    ABCD-1234_987654
```

Where ABCD-1234 is the Wordly session ID and 987654 is the passcode for the session.

Stream keys are generated automatically when a session is scheduled in the Wordly portal.

*You must remove the RTMP information from your encoder after your session completes.*

You can modify the stream key to:

- [Add a delay](https://help.wordly.ai/rtmp-streaming#delay).
- [Add a language](https://help.wordly.ai/rtmp-streaming#delay).

#### Adding a delay<https://help.wordly.ai/develop/rtmp-streaming/?hsLang=en#adding-a-delay>

Sometimes you may need to delay the stream you are sending to **Wordly** in order to match the delay of the video player in your integration. You add a delay as a parameter attached to the stream key. The delay is in milliseconds to allow fine tuning if needed.

For example you can add a delay of 15 seconds to the stream key above like this:

```
    ABCD-1234_987654?delay=15000
```

or if you prefer obscurity you can attach it to the end of the stream key like this:

```
    ABCD-1234_987654_15000
```

#### Adding a language<https://help.wordly.ai/develop/rtmp-streaming/?hsLang=en#adding-a-language>

When you stream to a Wordly session, Wordlyexpects speech in the stream to be in the language specified in the session. If the content is actually in a different language, you can override it in the stream key as an additional parameter. See [languages](https://help.wordly.ai/about-languages-supported?hsLang=en) for the list of language codes.

For example, to tell Wordlythe content of the stream is in French, you can use a stream key like this:

```
    ABCD-1234_987654?lang=fr
```

or it can be appended to the stream key like this:

```
    ABCD-1234_987654_fr
```

You can also combine the language and delay parameters:

```
    ABCD-1234_987654?delay=15000&lang=fr
```

or

```
    ABCD-1234_987654_fr_15000
```

The language parameter is not often used. The current streaming language can be changed while streaming is active using the streaming controls in the portal.

### Next Steps<https://help.wordly.ai/develop/rtmp-streaming/?hsLang=en#streaming-controls>

During the live streaming, you can[change the speaker's language.](https://help.wordly.ai/changing-speaker-language?hsLang=en)
