Meld Studio connects to your Kick account directly, so there is no stream key to hunt down and no server to configure. Scenes, a full audio mixer, overlays that react to your chat and 1080p60 are all waiting the moment you open it. Free on Windows and macOS.

Open it on your Mac or Windows computer to download Meld Studio.
Choose your platform:
Native Kick output
Log in once and the setup is done.
1080p60, ready
Recommended settings applied out of the box.
One chat panel
Kick, Twitch and YouTube in the same feed.
Most streaming software makes you dig a stream key out of a dashboard, paste an ingest URL, and hope you picked the right server. Meld Studio talks to Kick directly. Add the output, sign in, and the stream server and key are handled for you.
Nothing to rotate, nothing to leak, nothing to re-paste when you switch machines.
Your Kick chat lands in the chat dock inside Meld Studio, so you can read and reply without alt-tabbing to a browser mid-game. Follows and subscriptions come through too, and the built-in Chat, Activity Feed and Goal widgets react to them on screen.
The Stream Manager sits next to it, so your title, category and tags are one click away instead of one dashboard away. Add Twitch or YouTube later and their messages join the same panel, each tagged by platform.
Kick is a landscape-first platform, so Meld gives you the second shape for free. Turn on Multi Canvas and every scene gains a portrait canvas at 1080 × 1920, with its own layer stack, built from the same show you are already running.
Clips pulled from that canvas land at 1080 × 1920, ready for a short-form feed without cropping or reframing. You can also assign the Kick output itself to the Portrait canvas and stream vertical straight to Kick.
Meld Spark
Meld Spark is built into Meld Studio. Say what you want in one sentence and it writes the overlay, drops it straight into your scene, and connects it to your live Kick events. No code, no third-party alert service, no browser source URL to paste anywhere.
Add a follower goal bar along the bottom with a neon green glow, and pop confetti the moment we hit the goal.
Already listening to your Kick events
Meld Spark writes real code, not a static image, which is why its overlays animate at 60fps and can respond to live events. Which events are available depends on each platform's API. See how Meld Spark works.
Five steps from a fresh install to live on Kick.com. No stream key, no RTMP URL, no plugins.
Meld Studio is free on Windows and macOS, with no watermark and no per-stream limits.
Open the Outputs panel in the top-right corner, click the plus icon and select Kick from the list of available outputs.
Click Login in the Kick output settings. Your browser opens, you sign in with your Kick credentials, and Meld Studio fills in the stream server and key for you.
Add your game capture, camera and mic, then drop in overlays, alerts and a chat box. Meld Spark can build custom ones from a sentence.
Meld Studio starts broadcasting to Kick and confirms once the stream is live and stable. Your Kick chat appears in the chat dock.
Multistreaming is built into Meld Studio, so every platform below can be running from the same broadcast. Pick another destination and set it up the same way.
Thousands of creators already use Meld every day.
Meld is going to be a game changer. Everything you love about OBS with Adobe like effects, it's free, it will eventually have add ons. And it's faster, less resources.

after using @streamwithmeld for the past few streams, I am beyond impressed!!! It may still be in BETA but the response from my community has been amazing!
@BillyGoatTTV
@streamwithmeld is a game changer. yall need to get in on that IMMEDIATELY!
@comfiebeetv
With OBS, I had a scene for every single game and so many plugins. Meld? One scene captures every game without manually changing it. It worked straight from install.

I switched from OBS to Meld, and I haven't looked back. I enjoy it so much.

Streaming to Kick with Meld Studio
Open the Outputs panel in Meld Studio, click the plus icon and select Kick. Click Login, sign in with your Kick account in the browser window that opens, then click Go Live. Meld Studio handles the stream server and key for you.
No. Meld Studio uses Kick’s native login integration, so there is no stream key to copy and no RTMP URL to paste. Log in once and the output is configured.
Meld Studio applies sensible defaults when you add the Kick output, so most creators never need to change anything. If you want to tune it yourself, the current recommended resolution, framerate, encoder and bitrate values are kept up to date in the Kick documentation.
Yes. Multistreaming is built into Meld Studio, so Kick, Twitch, YouTube, TikTok and any custom RTMP destination can run from the same broadcast. Each output has its own toggle, so you can start one, add another mid-stream, or end one without touching the rest.
Yes. Enable Multi Canvas and assign your Kick output to the Portrait canvas, which runs at 1080×1920. That is useful for mobile-first layouts, and you can keep a landscape feed running to another platform at the same time.
Yes. Meld Studio is free on Windows and macOS, with no watermark and no limit on how long or how often you stream.
Yes. Kick chat appears in the built-in chat dock, alongside Twitch and YouTube if you are multistreaming, so you can read and reply to everyone from one panel without a second monitor.
Yes. Meld Studio is a native app on both macOS and Windows, and the Kick output works the same way on either.
