You can start configuring and streaming to Castr from SlingStudio by following the steps below.

How to Configure SlingStudio With Castr

Note: Please make sure there are no empty spaces added to the end of the stream name and stream key when you paste the config from Castr. It is best to check for any empty space and delete them—a common error when you start streaming from SlingStudio if caused by the empty spaces.

8. In SlingStudio Console, be sure that you have the video in the Program window.
