- # Live Streaming Instructions
- An event (such as a meetup) can be live streamed using the YouTube Live (YTL) service.
- This was originally called Google Hangouts On Air (GHOA) and was rebranded in 2016.
- The service is free and works very well.
- YTL is very useful for live streaming because it makes the stream available via YT and automatically records and saves on YT.
- Another advantage is that the event creator can select what will appear in the stream.
- This can be the presenter camera, desktop, window or if the presenter joins the YTL event they can stream from their desktop or a slide window.
- The event creator can then select the presenter stream to go in the output stream.
- It can be useful for the event creator to switch between the presenter slide stream and the camera view just to make it more interesting for the viewers.
