Add a Destination Group

A destination group is a convenient way to quickly and simultaneously broadcast to a group of web and social media destinations from within ProPresenter. After you set up a destination group in Studio, you can then access it through the Resi ProPresenter plugin. If you would like to learn more about how to use ProPresenter to broadcast with Resi, you can read our article on Setting up Your Software Encoder.

Before you can create a destination group, any social media accounts you intend on streaming to must be connected to Studio. If you would like to learn how to do so, read How to Stream to Facebook and How to Stream to YouTube.
