So you know which camera equipment you need to do a live broadcast. Do you know which platform you’d like to post on? YouTube Live is just one of the many live streaming platforms where business owners, content creators, or influencers alike, can interact with viewers sharing content in a live setting. YouTube Help has a quick rundown on live streaming perfect for beginners or anyone who wants to live stream quickly. These quick options are live streaming via a webcam and a mobile device. A webcam connected to your computer or internally on your laptop is an easy way to go live without needing an encoder. For mobile streaming, you will need the YouTube app and at least 1,000 subscribers. The article also has an advanced option that customizes your live streams. This option is called encoder streaming and allows you to capture content on your computer that wouldn’t be seen on camera and send it to stream on YouTube Live. This is ideal for those that have external audio and camera equipment or are displaying content from multiple screens and cameras. Before you live stream, it’s important to follow the YouTube Community Guidelines and Terms of Service because your stream may get age-restricted or removed. Your channel may also get a strike, which prevents you from streaming for three months. Learn more about live streaming on YouTube by reading the following links featured on the help center.
