Get EveryCord on the App Store How EveryCord compares

Two Kick apps, and only one goes live

Kick has two iPhone apps. KICK - Live Streaming is for watching and chatting on iPhone or iPad. KICK - Go Live is a separate app for going live: iPhone only, iOS 18.0 or later, and its App Store listing calls it early access.

Kick's help center says any KICK account can use KICK - Go Live; no Affiliate or Partner status is needed. You grant camera and microphone access, set a title, category and content labels, then tap the green button. Streams are saved as VODs.

Screen sharing sends your entire screen, including notifications. Screen audio is on by default and can be muted. Turning it on turns the camera off, so you cannot show your face over a game. Chat is read-only in the app.

EveryCord is made by Symaro, LLC, so this comparison is not independent. Each fact about the Kick apps is what Kick's own help center and App Store pages said on October 21, 2026.

KICK - Go Live settings and stream quality

How EveryCord streams to Kick

Kick gives every channel a stream URL and key: open the Creator Dashboard, click Channel, then Stream URL and Key. The server address is RTMPS on port 443. Anyone with the key can stream to your channel, so keep it private.

In EveryCord you add a custom RTMP output, paste the Kick server URL and stream key, and select it alongside YouTube or Twitch. You start from Apple's screen recording controls: pick EveryCord and confirm Start Broadcast. No EveryCord account is needed for a custom RTMP output.

Each output leaves the device at up to 720p at 30 fps and about 3 Mbps of upload. If one output drops, the others keep running. Kick's help center has a guide for restreaming services; EveryCord does not need one.

How to stream your iPhone screen to Kick with EveryCord

Kick's rule on multistreaming

Kick's multistreaming article is written for the KICK Partner Program. Partners who are also live on long-form platforms such as Twitch or YouTube must turn on the Multistreaming toggle, or type /multi on in chat. Payout is reduced by 50% for that session.

The toggle is not required for short-form platforms such as YouTube Shorts, TikTok Live and Instagram Live. The article does not describe rules for streamers outside the Partner Program.
