Well, this is a great opportunity for those of us who want to see something but can't travel across the country to see it. Thanks a lot! You're making the world smaller day by day! :)
It would be great if you could develop live statistics from polls or user feedback to be inserted in the live stream. This would allow a new level of interactivity between the viewers and the host.
Google is taking over the world a step at a time. This is the step they are taking to make YouTube the only channel you will need on your TeeVee. Just tune into YouTube-2015 (or sooner) and watch anything you want. Advertising revenue will flow to Google and life will be good - for Google.
Of course those pesky contracts that have to be signed with the real TeeVee players will slow down the process a bit. This is the battleground with iTunes and Netflix and all the others who want to be your main channel.
This is GREAT! I can't wait to use this instead of the other live streaming services. I imagine that Google will make this as streamlined and hassle-free as all their other services.
This is pretty amazing. I would love to know how I can participate as a broadcaster. Our current setup is to use QuickTime Broadcaster to a server farm in FL, which then distributes the live QT video.
are you going to make it for eveyone and i can be a tester if you want youtube contact me via my channle at rickyis911 or email me on my google email as you have it i can test it for you and i beta tested on blogtv/stickam/livevideo so i know what to look for if there is bugs and all that stuff
It could be great for me to Broadcast live with Youtube !!! ... I did some podcast here in my blog, but this could be something really nice :D !!! http://zegamind.blogspot.com/
So, is there any hope of this eventually releasing to users? Or is this going to continue to be a Partners-only tool, like a certain playlist organization feature which makes episodic content work better.
I thought the whole point of You Tube, Netflix and others was so we could watch programming at a time that was convenient to us, the viewer. Live is OK for "Breaking News". Historical news and events need to be on the viewer's schedule. Distributing viewing times helps minimize the load on the internet circuits. With lots of people watching at once, without an improved internet network in America regular daily internet traffic is going to get bogged down.
You use the 12 hour clock notation for time. Unfortunately we use the 24 hour clock notation here and I have no idea when 12:30 PM is on the day. Also it's presented in PST which is 7 hrs ahead of Europe adding more confusion to European viewers.
verry nice live streaming;) but i want to become a partner and i want do do a lot of live streaming about The art of displacement (parkour&freerunninf) tutorials about tricks ;)
This is interesting. But why just Partners when rolling it out, I know it would be convienient but it's a tad unfair giving it to them all the time, considering the rest of us have less a fan base.
Also would live shows automatically be saved after broadcast? and ofcourse will up to 1080p be introduced when you guys make it more stable?
I wish testing did not have to bork the entire website, so that I am unable to watch anything, leave comments, or check my inbox. Also, why does YouTube always pick corporate sellouts to stream live? Just my opinion, but why not pick YouTube oddities and ask if they wouldn't like to have front-row status for a day? We watch YouTube to avoid Hollywood. Just a thought.
Yup, sounds very nice but it obviously doesn't work on safari and firefox...not cool! thanks for working on that and making youtube available again! ;)
Congratulations on your trial of live streaming online.
You have done a wonderful job supporting captions for prerecorded media with CaptionTube and your speech-to-text feature. We hope that your trail is successful and we would be very encouraged to see support for live captioning as part of your live streaming platform.
There are very few live captioning platforms that provide native support for live captioning. YouTube could lead the way and encourage more people to consider live captioning to increase access for all.

Can you comment on the latency/bandwidth uploaded of each broadcast? Everyone in live streaming claims that "live" is around 5 seconds or more. While that is great for recreational streaming, people who broadcast real-time applications get left in the dust when they can't afford broadcast industry hardware.
Please have an API and allow live wmv stream too. Allow broadcasters to enter their live stream from thier own server so others can watch. That way they don't need to run the live broadcast from their main home computer 24/7. Once they enter the live stream (i.e. mms://westerns.tubtub.com/ ) Thanks!
I do a weekly show currently on ustream and then upload the video to youtube. Would love to cut out the middle man and try out the new live streaming as a broadcaster. Looks very promising :)
My channel is devoted to astronomy and science, and one use I would love to use streaming to:
* have a telescope trained on the sun so people could see a current image of solar activity throughout solar minimum.
* live stream certain astronomical events, like meteor showers, comet approaches, eclipses, occultations and a variety of other events.
I think students and teachers could get a lot out of something like that. Looking forward to the release of this! For reference, my channel is DeepAstronomy
YouTube partners should not be the only live broadcasters. It takes a different skill set to succeed live. Please give others a chance to broadcast live too.
Many popular radio shows did not have the same success on live TV in the 50s. Many silent film stars failed to succeed in sound motion pictures.
Many YouTube stars have not done so well on television or live performances. They may not have the stage presence or quick wit needed for live broadcasting.
YouTube is all about going from zero to hero. Please let the non-partners at least have a chance.
DAMMIT, WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENED A MONTH OR SO AGO? I'VE BEEN EAGERLY WATING PAITENTLY FOR A LIVE-STREAMING TEST OF SOME SORT AND THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT ME? GODDAMIT!
I believe this is a great news for many people who wait for Youtube to launch its live streaming platform. Just one thought, if you want to broadcast with high quality and monetize your videos or live contents, Youtube probably will not be the site your are looking for. I heard about a live streaming server called DaCast(www.dacast.com). The company just launched its integrated platform allows user streaming good quality videos and making money by choosing the pre-setup monetization models in the system. They are offering a free trial now, you can sign up a new account and get 10GB for free.
As a YouTube partner, I have to say, I'm hoping that YouTube will only offer this service to partners and NOT to everyone. Otherwise, you will have a glut of sub-par live feeds clogging up the site and eating up bandwidth. Who needs 567 channels of people filming their pets 24-7?
youtubeshould extend it to accounts that have over 50,000 views, that way its content that is going to get viewed and not what the comment above states... removes sad ppl fliming crap (i myself have 39,000 views so it will make people work harder to get this feature)
I hope this get's extended to all users, I want to be able to host a live show on YouTube, instead of having to go somewhere else, and then upload it to YouTube.
integrate it into the user channels, that would be the end of the competition. We all have to go to other competitors sites to do this currently. Keeping people inside the youtube network should be your top priority. A twitter module and a dailybooth module would pretty much seal the deal on most ALL other platforms. Heck, why not make a multi platform application so people don't even have to go to the web site? Then you could get the app on boxee and other appliances. You guys have too much potential to stay within the community to be selling out to folks like veevo and such.
I love live streaming. I can watch any NFL or English Premiere League game via live streaming sites. If youtube thought they had a piracy problem. Waite until they go live. Indian Drama Serials
Not that this is a shoutout but we have been a partner for a while, we have been able to transform our community and bring people together. From city information to local sports including political issues. You-Tube's acquisition's and steadfastness has let it's self to here. We are all connected, Let's Start Changing the World for Good.
A good effort by Youtube we are also doing broadcast on our website www.vihaldham.org with ustream but this service(Youtube-Live) is like a very good than ustram.tv we also like to join and create a live broadcasting channel on youtube-live
Very interesting, and I think this would be great to all musicians,actors, and commedians in the business. I'd like to be on live when everything is working perfectly!
Follow
This is slowly starting to make sense, uploads/downloads and Live can live together nicely. I like the direction this is going.
ReplyDeleteLet users do this theirselves on their own channels.
ReplyDeleteThen they won't have to move away and go onto silly websites like Stickam :)
Really surprised YouTube have not started doing this sooner. I hope I will be able to use this once it goes live or will it be for Partners only?
ReplyDeleteFinaly, I have been waiting for this forever!
ReplyDeleteSo does this mean it will sorta be kinda like livestream or ustream?
ReplyDeleteWhat about LIVE search?
ReplyDeleteWell, this is a great opportunity for those of us who want to see something but can't travel across the country to see it. Thanks a lot! You're making the world smaller day by day! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, right when you though YouTube couldnt get no better.
ReplyDeletewww.real-anonymity.es.tc
Partners only?
ReplyDeletedo people still watch that content?
ReplyDeleteLike to see an "app for that" for my Droid Incredile please...
ReplyDeleteIt would be great if you could develop live statistics from polls or user feedback to be inserted in the live stream. This would allow a new level of interactivity between the viewers and the host.
ReplyDeletePretty neat, hope this comes to the rest of us soon.

ReplyDeleteWould you people please use UTC we don't all live in the US.

ReplyDeletewhen will the real youtube users, not the corporation get to use that?
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome I can't wait!
ReplyDelete@JoeHobot
finally you make a good feature... and it's only available for two days. smart thinking youtube. /sarcasim
ReplyDeleteyou really should make this a permanent feature. you can put ustream out of business.
verry nice live streaming;) but i want to become a partner and i want do do a lot of live streaming about The art of displacement (parkour&freerunninf) tutorials about tricks ;)
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be a bad lip sync issue.
ReplyDeleteHow I'd love to see a live stream of a U2 concert!

so, is this more about turning youtube in a second TV-set, or running along the "broadcast yourself" motto?
ReplyDeleteHIGH FIVE :D
ReplyDeleteYeahhhh
ReplyDeleteSo will live be for everyone or only partners?
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting. But why just Partners when rolling it out, I know it would be convienient but it's a tad unfair giving it to them all the time, considering the rest of us have less a fan base.

start/stop/start/stop? wft...
ReplyDeleteimpossible to view.. useless
why can ustream and stickam
make streaming work and google can not?
no one is broadcasting... fun stuff
ReplyDeleteSo? What good is a feature for the millions of non-partners who can't use it?!
ReplyDeleteand it friggin sucks balls- videos i select wont even friggin play. its crap.
ReplyDeleteI wish testing did not have to bork the entire website, so that I am unable to watch anything, leave comments, or check my inbox.

ReplyDeleteCan we download live streaming video?
ReplyDeleteYup, sounds very nice but it obviously doesn't work on safari and firefox. not cool! thanks for working on that and making youtube available again! ;)

ReplyDeleteAll that is needed now is the resurgence of the M-bone, then I can throw the cable bill out the window.
ReplyDeletePretty much all YouTube pages look ugly and disorganized in the Firefox browser. Can you please fix this issue?
ReplyDeleteThats awesome... love youtube!

ReplyDeleteok, so if i understand correctly, only "youtube partner" will be allowed to broadcast in the future?
ReplyDeleteIt looks pretty nice, but I wonder why it is not available to my country?
ReplyDeleteYou Should make this live thing avalible for everone. Not everyone is a partner!
ReplyDeleteFIRST! :D
