  1. In the upper left select “External Encoding” in the Quality dropdown.
    You won’t see your stream in the normal spot. Don’t worry, it’s absolutely normal. You’ll see yourself only in the external encoder.
  2. Click to start your show. A window will pop up with 2 URLS in blue (see below).
  3. Select the FMS URL link and copy it.
  4. Paste it in the FMS URL field in the encoder.
  5. Next, select the Stream URL from your client and copy it.
  6. Paste it in the Stream URL field in the encoder.
  7. Click on the green Start button in the encoder (Not the connect button, but the green button at the bottom of the encoder).

Voilà!

You’re now streaming in HD using the encoder!
