 ## Stream forwarding ##
 # Forward an incoming stream to other servers

+# that will be replaced by the current date information.
 forwarding:
   # By default nothing is forwarded.

   # This example forwards a stream named "demo" to Twitch and YouTube,

   #  - rtmp://live-cdg.twitch.tv/app/STREAM_KEY
