Create a live stream
You have three options to start live streaming on YouTube, Stream now, Events, and on mobile.
Stream nowStream now is a simple way to stream. YouTube automatically detects the stream resolution and frame rate.
When you are live, we’ll transcode to lower resolutions so all of your fans can enjoy your stream no matter the quality of their Internet connection.
To go live instantly:
-
Download and setup your encoder using the Stream Name/Key and Server URL. Learn more about encoders.
-
Add a title and description in the BASIC INFO tab. You can also add a custom thumbnail that represents your event.
-
Optional: Schedule your next stream time.
-
Add an optional Fan Funding card to earn money for your stream.
-
If you select the Gaming Category, add a Game title to people discover your stream.
-
Set privacy settings to Public, Unlisted, or Private
-
In the STREAM OPTIONS tab, select between Low Latency or Highest Quality. Low Latency is closer to real-time for users. Highest Quality provides the smoothest viewing experience for your audience.
-
If you only have rights to the live show, check the Mark archive unlisted when complete box. You can use this to remove the archived live event from the search index. The link can still be shared and embedded. This will apply the setting as soon as the live event is complete.
When the stream is live:
Interact with the audience using live chat.
- Share the link across social media platforms using our SHARE tool.
- Keep an eye on the real-time Analytics section.
- Monitor the stream in the player, top status bar and in the Stream Health tab.
When the stream is over:
- Stop sending content from your encoder and we’ll end your stream.
- We’ll automatically archive the event up to 12 hours and make it available in the Video Manager. We recommend recording a local archive as a backup. Keep in mind that YouTube Video Editor features aren't currently available for videos longer than 1 hour.
