I'm trying to stream video from my phone and I want to be able to see it on my computer. I got the Streamlabs app on my iPhone and saw I could run an RTMP server which would have lower latency than YouTube for example. I found out about Red5 and ran it on Ubuntu. Streamslabs asks for a url and stream key. I'm assuming the url is the public ip of my computer.

The problem is that I have no idea how to get the stream key. There is no place that simply says how to setup RTMP so I can watch a stream. All I see is how to setup RTMPS which still doesn't even show how to setup a stream on the GitHub wiki. Yes, I forwarded the RTMP port (1935). I just need to figure out how to set the stream up. Can someone please help me?

When asked for url and stream key the application would normal want the url to your server which would look something like this: rtmp://my_server_ip:1935/live replace my_server_ip with your server's IP address or fqdn. For stream key, they want your stream name, usually so let's say your stream name is redstone; fill those in and hit publish or start on the app and you should be good to go.
