YouTube Make Some Cool Updates to their Live Streaming

Just today, YouTube have announced that they are rolling out some updates related to live streaming on the platform. These were outlined in a recent YouTube Creator Blog post here.

I briefly talk about the updates mentioned in this short live stream video.

In summary:

  • live stream replays will now show a live chat replay along side the video.
  • live streams will now be auto captioned, just like uploaded videos (or you can upload your own captions and translations)
  • for mobile streaming, a location tag option
  • SuperChats will now be available via iOS devices.

These changes will start to be rolled out from today.
