This informational field is automatically updated as you
configure the RTMP parameters. It displays the full RTMP URL for the primary server.
Primary Stream:
Enter the stream name for the primary server. Consult your server
documentation or CDN to find out what should be entered here. Some servers allow
arbitrary stream names, while others use this field for authentication and thus require
specific names.
