# Streaming - SRT

In addition to RTMP, we now also support SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) for live broadcasts.

|| This is a new launch that is not available on all platforms yet.

# What is SRT and benefits:
* A newer and more modern protocol in comparison to RTMP.
* More reliable, better/securer if network at production or viewer is unstable. Adapts to network
* Deliver a more stable broadcasting experience regardless of network

# Small differences compared to RTMP:
* **SRT URL**: srt://live.staylive.io:6001
* **RTMP URL**: rtmp://live.staylive.io:5222/app
* **Stream Key/Broadcast Key**: Longer keys than before for security (also applies to RTMP)
* **SRT Passphrase**: Mandatory for SRT. Not for RTMP
* **SRT Encryption**: AES 128
* **Latency**: 1000 ms

The streaming details for SRT and RTMP can be found the exact same way in the Dashboard:
**Content** --> **Livestreams** --> **Select broadcast in the overview**
