# Add a video source (/docs/video-source)



Every publishing device on your dashboard has a **sending URL**. Paste it into
the app that films — that app becomes the video source, and VISP relays its
feed into OBS. The URL contains that device's password, so keep it private.

Using the **VISP phone app** or **browser publisher**? You don't need this
page — they link the device automatically after you sign in.

## Copy the URL [#copy-the-url]

1. Open the [dashboard](https://visp-stream.com/dashboard) and find your
   device under **Video sources**.
2. Choose **Copy** next to **Add this to video source**.

## Paste it into your app [#paste-it-into-your-app]

### OBS Studio (as the sender) [#obs-studio-as-the-sender]

1. On the computer that films, open **Settings → Stream**.
2. Set **Service** to **Custom...** and paste the URL into **Server**.
3. Leave **Stream Key** empty and click **OK**, then **Start Streaming**.

### Larix Broadcaster [#larix-broadcaster]

1. Go to **Settings → Connections → New connection**.
2. Paste the URL into the **URL** field and tap **Save**.
3. On mobile data, turn on adaptive bitrate so the stream stays smooth when
   the signal dips.

### Moblin [#moblin]

1. Go to **Settings → Streams → Create stream**.
2. Paste the URL as the stream URL and save.

### Other apps [#other-apps]

In your app's stream settings, choose **Custom** or **Custom RTMP** as the
service and paste the URL as the server. If your app doesn't accept an SRT
URL, switch the dashboard to **Advanced** mode to reveal the RTMP fallback
URL for the device.

## Check it worked [#check-it-worked]

The device row on the dashboard shows **Live** as soon as VISP receives the
feed. For latency tuning and automatic fallback scenes, see
[Encoders and fallback](/docs/broadcaster-setup).
