Hey there! Streamable helps IRL streamers stay live through brief connection drops. Features include Premium Cloud Streaming Servers, Stream Drop Protection, Clips Players, Remote OBS, Multiple Ingests, Collaborative Streaming, DDoS protection, and much more! If you're a streamer, let us help you out!
Short answer
Yes. Kick announced on November 6, 2026 that it is officially partnered with Streamable (streamable.run), the cloud OBS service for IRL and desktop streamers. For a Kick streamer, that means Kick points to Streamable as a way to keep IRL streams smooth, and Kick's support team can help you use or switch to it.
This page covers only what the announcement says, plus what Streamable's own product does today. Kick has not published partnership terms we can quote, so we don't describe any.
What was announced
On November 6, 2026 the official @streamablerun Instagram account posted: "Kick is officially partnered with Streamable to keep IRL streams smooth." The post names three things for streamers:
- Premium cloud OBS servers, up in under 30 seconds.
- Higher video quality, even on spotty signal.
- Stream drop protection.
It also says more than 1,000 streamers, including N3on and Clavicular, stream with Streamable, and it points Kick streamers to @KickSupport or @OasisEthan for support using or switching to Streamable. Those figures and the boot time come from that announcement. They are not independent measurements.
What Kick streamers get
A cloud OBS server. Streamable runs full OBS Studio on a cloud server with a dedicated NVIDIA T4 GPU or higher. You edit scenes and sources from your browser with Remote OBS, and your phone or camera sends its feed to the server instead of straight to Kick. Your phone does the camera work; the server does the encoding and the stream to Kick.
A steadier picture on weak signal. Your phone sends video to the server over SRT or SRTLA, and the server delivers the stream to Kick from a stable connection. SRTLA lets apps like Moblin (the free iOS IRL streaming app) combine several connections, such as cellular and Wi-Fi. Better buffering helps weak links, but it can't create bandwidth that isn't there. In a dead zone, lower the bitrate on your phone. Our phone settings guide explains how.
Stream drop protection. If your phone loses its connection, the server keeps running, so Kick doesn't see your stream end. You can show a fallback scene while your phone reconnects. This is protection against a dropped phone connection. It doesn't cover a Kick outage, and it doesn't make a stream impossible to interrupt. For how the options compare, read Best Stream Drop Protection Server, where we disclose that we make Streamable.

Is Streamable officially partnered with Kick?
Yes. Kick and Streamable announced it on November 6, 2026 through the official @streamablerun post linked above.
Do I have to use Streamable to stream IRL on Kick?
No. You can stream to Kick from your phone directly. Streamable is an option for streamers who want a cloud OBS server and drop protection.
Does Streamable stop my Kick stream from ending if my phone loses signal?
It keeps the server running while your phone reconnects, so Kick doesn't see your stream end because of the drop. It can't help if your phone never reconnects, or if Kick itself has a problem.
Can I stream to Kick and Twitch at the same time?
Yes, by adding a destination for each platform. See the multistreaming guide above.
Who do I ask about switching from another setup?
Start with @KickSupport or @OasisEthan, as the announcement says. To move an existing setup yourself, follow the guide to setting up a cloud OBS server linked above.
What does the partnership include?
The announcement describes support for using or switching to Streamable. Kick hasn't published other terms, so we don't list any.
