# Studio Set Up

First, make sure you have your preferred streaming studio application installed and open on your device. We recommend using [OBS](https://obsproject.com/) or any of [Streamlab's Desktop or Mobile Applications](https://streamlabs.com/).

1. On Xeenon's web app, make sure all of the desired stream fields are filled out
   * All of your streams information can be changed while the stream is live (except for the streams cost per minute)
2. In the bottom left of your streaming dashboard in the **Actions** section, you will see a **Stream Key** icon. Click it so that you can copy your stream key and URL.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Never share your stream key with anyone, not even your grandma.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Xeenon gives you the option to use a reusable stream key like traditional platforms, or generate a one time use key for an additional layer of security.**&#x20;

If you opt in to using a one time use key, once the key is used, it is no longer valid. It's still best practice to keep the one time use keys a secret, but you will have peace of mind using Xeenon, knowing that your content and audience are safe.&#x20;
