# Where do I find the ingest server URL?

> Where to send your work: the ingest URL for streaming, or a livestreaming source in Review.

Where you send your work depends on the product. Pick yours below.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Streaming Classic">
    The ingest server URL tells your encoder where to send the signal. You copy it once from the app and paste it into the server field of your encoder.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Open Settings">
        In the app, go to **Settings** and open the **Ingest** tab.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Copy the URL">
        Under **Ingest server authentication** you find your username, password and default ingest server. Click **Copy RTMPS ingest URL** to copy the full address to your clipboard.

      </Step>

      <Step title="Paste it into your encoder">
        Paste the URL into the **Server** field of your encoder, for example in OBS. The address always starts with `rtmps://` because every stream is encrypted.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    <Note>
      If you ever regenerate your credentials, copy the URL again and update it on every device that streams.
    </Note>

  <Tab title="Review">
    In Review the ingest server lives in a conferencing room. You bring an external hardware or software encoder into a room as a **Source**, which gives you a Server URL and a stream key to push to.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Open a conferencing room">
        Go to **Live Sessions** and open a room, or create one with **Create Room**.

        </Frame>
      </Step>

      <Step title="Add a source">
        Open the room's **Edit** dialog, go to the **Sources** tab and click **Add Source**. Choose **WHIP** for a premium passthrough or **RTMP** for HD.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Copy the Server URL and stream key">
        The source shows a **Server URL** and a **Stream Key**. Copy both into your encoder. Each active source counts as one participant, uses a room slot, and is billed per minute.
