# How can I receive an RTMP stream?

## Receiving video source via RTMP using OBS as an example

The Restreamer has an internal RTMP server function. The function can be used to receive any RTMP-enabled video sources. The video shows the popular OBS software as the transmitter for the RTMP stream and the Restreamer as the receiver. Once the video stream is up, the Restreamer is ready for all functions.
