How to get up and running with Youtube Live Streaming.
Things to know
The features "Live Streaming" and "Embed Live Streams" both need to be enabled in youtube.com/features (follow the instructions there)
If you have a newer YouTube channel then you may not be able to enable the "Embed Live Streams" feature for a while. YouTube recently made changes to their requirements for enabling this feature, including that you must have at least 1,000 channel subscribers. If you're not able to enable the feature on your YouTube channel then we recommend trying Facebook Live or a paid live streaming platform.
If you don’t want your link to change you must do your live stream public
Embedding Publicly to show on both your website and on YouTube.
