YouTube Live Streaming

How do I send my live stream to YouTube?

The YouTube Live Streaming feature can be found on the "Events" page for Live Events Channels when clicking on "Add an Upcoming Event to this Channel".

Once the YouTube box is selected, a pop-up window will appear with the request to login to your YouTube account. Simply sign into your YouTube account and activate the Live Streaming feature.

Once your Lightcast account is connected with your YouTube account, add the live event name, begin/end time, and select a recurring event time, if you wish to broadcast your event on a recurring basis. (The system limitation is 26 weeks to facilitate user-friendly load times. If you want to broadcast a particular event longer than this time-frame, simply add another event to begin at a future time.)  

If you are not encoding a "live" stream for this feed, you can use the Optional drop-down menu to select a video from your Media Archive to share as a simulated live stream. Once the stream is live, you will see it on your YouTube Live Dashboard (https://www.youtube.com/live_dashboard) if you are logged in to your YouTube account. Share and enjoy!
