YouTube has now rolled out mobile live streaming feature for anyone with more than 10,000 subscribers. This feature has been in the oven since June 2016 and now it is ready to serve.
According to YouTube, “It’s a launch that’ll put the power of live streaming in the hands of hundreds of thousands of talented creators, giving them a more intimate and spontaneous way to share their thoughts, lives, and creativity.”
This gives the chance for subscribers to follow their favourite YouTube creators (or if you think you have an exciting life).
As for YouTube, this is expected to make money and also compete with Facebook Live
Mobile live streaming has been built directly into the YouTube mobile app. All you have to do to start streaming is open YouTube, hit the capture button, and you’re live! Streamed videos will have all the same features as regular YouTube videos.
To help creators earn revenue from live streaming, YouTube has also launched Super Chat, a new live stream monetization tool available to creators in more than 20 countries (and viewers in more than 40 countries). Super Chat is like paying for that front-row seat in the digital age: it lets any fan watching a live stream stand out from the crowd and get a creator’s attention by purchasing chat messages that are highlighted in bright colors and stay pinned to the top of the chat window for up to five hours. Super Chat gives viewers a chance to add a little visual flair to their chats and gives creators a new way to keep connected to their fans while earning a little money on the side, let’s say for example, while shopping at Target or playing video games
