How to stream to YouTube Live?
There are 2 ways to stream on YouTube:
1) Native integration
- Pre-requisite:
- Create or edit a live event on LiveU Studio
- Add or edit a publishing point (1 &2).
- Add my first YouTube account with the "Log in with YouTube" button.
- Authorize LiveU Studio to use your managed account
- Open your YouTube Studio.
- Create or schedule a stream by clicking on "Create -> Go live" (3&4).
- Once your YouTube stream is configured, go back to LiveU Studio.
You should see in the Studio the list of all your YouTube Stream Keys available (in my case I only have one stream key configured).
- Select the same Stream Key as the one configured when creating your Stream on YouTube.
- When you're ready to go live on YouTube, hit the Start publishing and record button.
- Check that your stream is correctly received.
In case of modification/resetting of the YouTube stream key, or of an error when starting the publication, please deselect the publication point -> Hit the refresh button to refresh the Stream keys list and select the correct Stream Key again.
Problem adding your account? Don't panic!
- Log in to your YouTube account.
- Go to your settings -> Channel Status and Features.
- Verify that features requiring phone number validation are enabled.
In case of error message when linking to your account "internal error ecountered" it indicates that your YouTube account has corrupted/obsolete Stream Keys, in this case we invite you to delete your obsolete Stream Keys in your YouTube Studio before retrying the link to Studio.
