  1. Sign in to Wowza Streaming Engine Manager as an Administrator. You must have administrator privileges to create stream files. For more information, see Manage credentials.
     
  2. In the Server contents panel, click Stream Files, and then click Add Stream File.


     
    Note: You can also access Stream Files from the contents panel of the selected application.
  3. In the Add Stream File modal, enter a name for the stream file and the URI of the source stream, and then click Add. Note that it is important to use the IP address of the server hosting the stream as the Stream URI.
     
    Note: The Stream URI is formatted srt://0.0.0.0:[port] for pull streams.

     
  4. (Optional) Specify per-stream settings. Per-stream settings override those in the application configuration for that stream and apply only to the types of streams identified by the configuration. For more information, see Specify per-stream settings in Wowza Streaming Engine .stream files.
  5. To start the stream, click the Connect icon to connect to the stream.
