If your stream key is exposed:
1. Immediately reset the stream key on the corresponding platform.
2. Stop the current live stream.
3. Restart streaming using the new stream key.

Platforms-Specific Notes
Some platforms, including TikTok and Kwai, restrict direct RTMP access and require proprietary software.
Use UVC capture mode by connecting your device (such as mini series, streamZ and so on) to a PC via USB. Selecting the device as a Camera within the software for stable operation.
Third-party tools (e.g., GravitasQ) may be used to obtain temporary Stream Keys. These tools may become unreliable due to platform updates.
🚨 Risk Warning
Using unofficial streaming tools may be detected as abnormal activity by the platform and could result in account suspension.
Before using third-party streaming software, carefully evaluate potential account risks.
RGBlink provides technical support ONLY and assumes no liability for account suspension, abnormal behavior, or other issues caused by third-party software.
