YouTube mobile live streaming can help you reach your audience live by taking advantage of live streaming on YouTube. YouTube rolled out live streaming for those who want to broadcast directly from their phones. Before, one had to have at least 10,000 subscribers to enable the feature. Today, however, the video service has made live video available to YouTubers with a smaller subscription base. If you’ve got at least 1,000 subscribers to your channel, you can go live on the go.
Streaming live to your YouTube channel is pretty easy, too. If you meet the subscriber requirements, you simply hop into the Creator Studio tools and enable live streaming. Then you use the YouTube mobile app to create a live stream. YouTube will automatically save an archive for you as well.
Allowing people with smaller YouTube followings to live stream like this gives the video service a larger pool of content, for sure. This could better help them take on Facebook, which continues to upgrade its own offerings with Facebook Live. Keeping the feature to established channel owners will also let the service test its live feature with a more technically diverse audience before possibly opening the door to everyone.
