YouTube’s live streaming feature has been available for a while now, unfortunately it isn’t the most easiest feature to use when compared to Facebook Live when it comes to mobile, therefore the video streaming service is implementing a live stream feature directly into the YouTube app, what the user will need to do is to simply press on the “big red capture button”, enter the description of the live stream and select a thumbnail, your video will then be streamed to the whole world pretty and it looks pretty much like how you see on Facebook Live and Periscope, where you will be able to see your viewers comments and video views.
For creators, YouTube will continue to offer content protection for your live streams which viewers cannot simply download and reupload your videos, the company has also claims that the live stream feature will be more reliable compared to other services as it uses the peerless infrastructure. The live streaming feature is available starting today to selected partners and as usual, it will eventually be available to many other users soon in the coming months, therefore do keep your YouTube app updated all the time if you are expecting to use the feature.
