Youtube live streaming expanding

Initially, YouTube's live-streaming Here

 

Does this mean we might see a new venue for the Linus Live stream?

I didn't know it was limited before, I mean I've never exactly seen it on small channels but it didn't really seem like a "special thing" only for "Select partners".

 

That said, limiting it at all is a terrible idea and I've heard it's not as good as dedicated sites like Twitch. I don't really see any reason for ANYONE to change over to YouTube, and with the 1000 subscriber requirement I bet a lot of the potential users would already be using a different streaming service before they had the option.

well from the little experimenting ive done with twitch/xsplit its not the most intuitive process.

Well I do get that impression from, say, Linus' streams... But on the other hand, I don't see the YouTube version as being any different; if you've already figured out what setup mostly works with Twitch, why would you try the YouTube streaming and have to start all over again?

[Fonil]

Short answer? I feel his youtube "partners" would be much happier.

IIRC Linus had used YouTube streaming for the first couple of livestreams, but then switched over to twitch because YouTube was quite unreliable.

One of the main benefits of youtube streaming for linus would be pretty simple, as soon as the livestream ends it's already uploaded to youtube and you can (on most channels) pause and rewind when it's live.

Yeah but I'd think that Linus would not be allowed to put his own sponsorship adverts in the video as he does on Twitch at the moment.

 

Edit; or does that sponsorship go up in the Archive YouTube live stream?

God, youtube livestream has such a poor setup. Besides, unless they changed it, anything you typed in 'chat' is actually left as a comment on the video. (Anyone confirm this still is happening?)
