We make multistream and live video commerce easy. Follow these steps to broadcast to YouTube immediately, or to schedule a YouTube live stream
Important
Before broadcasting to YouTube, you must enable your account for live streaming, which may take up to 24 hours. You must also ensure that you have connected your YouTube Channel connected to your Stage TEN account. Learn more on how to do this here.
Going LIVE immediately (without scheduling)
If your YouTube channel is already connected to Stage TEN, and if you have not previously scheduled a broadcast, you'll see a "default" destination that Stage TEN creates for you - it'll look like this:
1. Click the "Live Control Room" link to edit the privacy of your broadcast (otherwise the default privacy will be unlisted, and your subscribers won't be notified).
2. When you are ready to go LIVE, turn on the YouTube option under LIVE DESTINATIONS using the toggle. Use the same toggle to turn OFF your live stream at the end of your event.
3. To get a share link for your broadcast, click the icon beside the YouTube icon. (If your broadcast is set to Public, you can also find the link on your YouTube channel).
