YouTube Live Event Livestream Configuration Guide

Please follow the steps below to setup a Live Event via YouTube and use the CaptureCast unit to stream to YouTube.

 


CONFIGURATION VIA YOUTUBE

  1. Go to https://www.youtube.com/livestreaming/ and login if necessary.
  2. You can either choose to create a scheduled event or go live immediately. For the uses of this tutorial we're going to go live immediately.
  3. Select which stream key you would like to use from the dropdown. We recommend setting a static stream key that you use for all your streams with CaptureCast, so your template configuration can remain static.
