All of the streaming (as of 2019) uses Black Magic Web Presenter.
The Web Presenter can be seen as a webcam and you can log in to to any platform (YouTube, FaceBook, Twitch, Skype, etc) and begin streaming immediately.
If you need to stream to an event you will need to use OBS (Open Broadcast Software), copy the Stream Key from the platform you are using and paste it into the OBS interface.
