About YouTube Live

Every day, people from around the world come to YouTube to experience the world’s biggest cultural moments. Whether hosting a live charity event, a town hall or a press conference about breaking news, YouTube Live and Premieres allow Creators to bring viewers together in real-time to learn, discuss and to form new social communities. YouTube Live is an easy way for Creators to reach their community in real time. Whether streaming an event, teaching a class, or hosting a workshop, YouTube has tools that will help manage live streams and interact with viewers in real time. Creators can live stream on YouTube via webcam, mobile, and encoder streaming. Webcam and mobile are considered great options for beginners and allow Creators to go live quickly. Encoder streaming is ideal for more advanced live streams such as: sharing creator’s screen or broadcast your gameplay, connecting to external audio and video hardware, and managing an advanced live stream production.
