# How do I log in to Owncast?

https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-to-log-in-to-owncast

1. In the panel, open **My servers** and click your server.
2. On the **Overview** tab, wait for the **App** row to say "Owncast is ready". The page refreshes itself.
3. Click **Open app**.
4. Open the link in the **Admin address** row. The **Login** is `admin` and the password is in the **Password** row.
5. In your streaming software (OBS, for example), enter `rtmp://your-server-address/live` as the server. The stream key is the value in the **Admin key** row of the panel.

Further down the page, the **Username** row and the **Password** row below it are for SSH. Don't use them to log in to Owncast.

## Good to know

- The stream comes in on port 1935/TCP, and viewers watch the page on ports 80 and 443.
- Video processing runs on the CPU. For high resolution and many viewers, pick a stronger plan.
- The site opens over HTTPS on a free `sslip.io` address based on your IP. If a certificate can't be issued, it opens over `http://` instead. Only ports 80, 443, 1935 and 22 (for SSH) are open to the outside.
