      Important Points to Remember When Simulcasting to Amazon Live

      • You must be an approved Amazon Influencer or Brand registered seller
        Only eligible creators can stream on Amazon Live. Apply via the Amazon Influencer Program if not already enrolled.

      • Use the Amazon Live Creator App (iOS only)
        You can only start the stream on Amazon via their iOS app — it's mandatory to initiate the broadcast from there even if you're simulcasting through another platform.

      • Create your livestream in the app first
        Inside the app, click “+” to create a new livestream, select your products, title the stream, and get the RTMP server URL and stream key.

      • Start Amazon Live broadcast first
        Start your stream inside the Amazon Live app before going live from Firework otherwise, Amazon will not display your stream.

      • Use a stable, high-speed internet connection
        Amazon recommends an upload speed of at least 5 Mbps to maintain a stable 720p/1080p stream.

      • Follow Amazon Live’s tech specs

        • Format: RTMP

        • Bitrate: 2.8 Mbps

        • Frame rate: 30 fps

      • Avoid static or inactive screen

      • Streams are monitored
        Violating Amazon Live’s guidelines (e.g., low quality, unrelated content, copyright violations) may result in termination or account suspension.
