content directly to the destination.

Enter the server URL. Depending on where you are streaming to (local server or

CDN), this will look something like rtmp://server.address:1935/live. This will vary by

platform, so check with them to get the proper address. Often the server URL is found

with FMLE instructions or contained in a downloadable XML file.
