Any format works. Loopify Engine automatically converts your video to the optimal streaming format.

Wait for conversion

After upload, Loopify Engine automatically converts your video. You can see real-time progress directly on the video card — no page refresh needed.

Video is ready

Once converted, the video card shows a green Ready badge. You can now assign this video to any stream and go live.

Tip: You can upload multiple videos and loop them one after another in your stream.

Get your YouTube stream key

Open YouTube Studio → Go Live → Stream tab. Copy the stream key. Keep it private — it gives full access to your channel stream.

YouTube Studiostudio.youtube.com → Go Live → Stream
Stream keyCopy and paste into Loopify
Copy
Keep your stream key private. Never share it publicly. You can reset it in YouTube Studio anytime.
Want extra discovery in the Shorts feed? In YouTube Studio → Go Live → Stream, use YouTube Dual stream with Auto when it is available for your channel. YouTube can create a vertical version from the same Loopify 16:9 feed. Custom Encoder mode requires a second vertical stream key and is not automated by Loopify yet.

Create a new stream in Loopify

Go to Dashboard → click New Stream. Enter a name, paste your stream key, and select the video you want to loop.

Start your stream

Click Start on your stream card. Loopify launches the publisher and connects it to YouTube; once the destination accepts the stream, your selected video or playlist continues in the configured loop.

You can close your browser. Loopify runs on our servers 24/7 — your stream continues automatically.

Loopify watches your stream

Loopify checks stream health about every 5 seconds and automatically recovers real disconnects or YouTube session closures. Healthy streams are not restarted on a timer. Repeated failures use safe backoff and are surfaced when attention is needed.

Automatic recovery: Loopify detects interruptions and restores eligible streams automatically. If repeated failures need your input, Loopify shows a clear Needs attention state and can alert you.

Stream cards overview

Each stream card shows status, uptime and playlist. Pro and higher plans can also see Dedicated IP in the Dashboard.

Start / Stop streams

Use the Start and Stop buttons on each card. Starting takes a few seconds — Loopify connects to YouTube and begins looping your video immediately.

Stopping a stream ends the broadcast on YouTube. Viewers will see the stream as ended. You can restart it anytime.
3

Edit the playlist while live

With Live Playlist you can add, remove and reorder videos while the stream stays live. Use Play next to place a queued video immediately after the current one; the current video finishes normally. On streams running the latest Live Playlist engine, Skip current intentionally ends the current item early and advances to the next one while the YouTube publisher stays connected.

Three live controls: Play next changes only the upcoming order. Skip current advances to the existing next item. Play now moves the selected video next and advances to it immediately. None restarts the YouTube connection.
4

Schedule when you need it

Paid plans can start and stop streams automatically at chosen times. Use one-time or recurring schedules when your channel does not need to stay live continuously.

Keep it simple: For a true 24/7 stream, no schedule is required — leave scheduling off and Loopify will continue protecting the stream.
5

Dedicated IP

Dedicated IP is managed automatically by Loopify for eligible streams.

Visibility: Pro and higher plans can see Dedicated IP in the Dashboard. No manual setup is required.

Add-ons

Need more capacity without changing your base plan? Available add-ons and their current prices are shown directly in Tariff & Balance, so the billing screen remains the source of truth.

No guessing: Stream and storage add-on prices are loaded from the current plan configuration rather than hard-coded into this guide.

Free Trial

New eligible accounts get a 3-day free trial with 1 stream, 5 GB storage, and up to 6 hours of actual streaming time. No credit card required. Scheduling is available after upgrading.

Trial expires in 3 days. Upgrade before expiry to keep your streams running without interruption.
