YouTube: Create your own live stream - how it works
A nice but most unknown feature of YouTube is the live stream. We'll show you how to go on air with your own YouTube live stream.
YouTube: How to create your own live stream
With the YouTube function "Live Events" you can stream your own live stream on the Internet. This allows you to participate, comment and rate live at your event worldwide.
- First you have to activate the function. To do this, open the overview page of the functions and click on "Activate" next to the item "Live events".
- If you have not yet verified your YouTube account, you must first do this with your phone number.
- Now go to the Live Events page and activate the live stream by clicking the button.
- Now you can stream your webcam or connected camera and share the link to point to the live stream.
By the way, you can use text markings such as bold, italic and underlined on YouTube - we will show you in the next practical tip how you can use it.
