Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YouTube Live?

It's hard because there's nothing not to like about the YouTube live software, the software is always in constant growth and updates that make it better and better.

We haven't had any problems using it recently, it's always innovating with new features, and the support is very slow this should be improved!

Depending on the location and internet connection, it won't work perfectly that I see how natural all software needs an excellent internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about YouTube Live?

As a former streamer on YouTube, it was easy to interact with my community and chat with them even while gaming and to record from streaming software.

What do you dislike about YouTube Live?

I didn't dislike anything much. It was pretty good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is YouTube Live solving and how is that benefiting you?

Youtube Live helped me stream to my community and engage with them actively, and securely, with their chat feature options and their measures that they have taken for ensuring safety for all their creators on Youtube Live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YouTube Live?

What I don't like is that I still have to watch a lot of ads and can't react, express my feelings with emojis while the show is happening, it makes me feel like the interaction is limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

you should add a feature way for users to interact with each other and with the show more Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is YouTube Live solving and how is that benefiting you?

I usually watch it in my free time and when I want to feel like I'm watching a program with other people. Besides that, there are a lot of good shows and it's really fun to watch online Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about YouTube Live?

I like the fact that people with a smaller number of followers on YouTube may also now use YouTube Live. In the past, you had to have a certain amount of followers. I would like to move from FaceBook live to YouTube live on a more permanent basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YouTube Live?

The problem for me at this moment is that my followers on Facebook are much more than those on YouTube. People aren't so keen to create themselves a YouTube page, but rather a Facebook page. It may change this year Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering YouTube Live:

YouTube is one of the fastest growing video streaming and management tool out there. Whats even more amazing is that its free and I've heard should you have some 1000 followers on your channel you can attract income through advertisements etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is YouTube Live solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was a bit sad that so many videos are being removed from YouTube these days and they call it misinformation. Then obviously;y it doesn't give the watcher the opportunity to decide for themselves. I must say with all fairness YouTube made it somewhat better for their users than FaceBook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is sometimes a compromise in video quality and also lacks various tools essential for live streaming which is rather problematic to new users and steamers who just entered the live streaming domain. It is also very difficult to share. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about YouTube Live?

The quality of Youtube Live is truly superior to other streaming software. The video and audio quality is quite nice, and the live comments also provide a nice way to interact. I also appreciate that unlike other apps, Youtube does not overwhelm the screen with little hearts and likes. Additionally, if you are someone who uses Youtube a lot, you will receive a customized feed which guides you to additional content and artists.

Also, if you are in the position of someone who is doing the streaming, you have an opportunity to reach a wide audience and engage authentically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YouTube Live?

Youtube is notorious for its data phishing and tracking, and I find this feature very invasive. For example, without asking for my permission, Youtube began sending me push notifications for new Live streams that I might be interested. One Livestream was from a band from my hometown. While I like this band on Facebook and am friends with the members, I have not looked at their Youtube page or given any other indication that I was a fan. While it was nice to know that this band was streaming content, I was disturbed by Youtube's apparent intrusion into my personal preferences and life. This makes me question how else Youtube is looking at my interests, demographics, and private life. Because of this, I am very careful with how I view Youtube in order to protect what little privacy I have.

If you are a streamer, there are some complications in putting up accessible links over the video. Sometimes these links block important content, or are otherwise confusing to the viewer. Sloppy transitions are also something to watch for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering YouTube Live:

YouTube Live is a great way to stream high-quality content to past and potential fans. The algorithm used by YouTube can connect various categories of film and help keep a string of engagement among followers. Additionally, the chat stream is less obnoxious than on other sites. If using YouTube Live, make sure you set up appropriate links, and also have someone from your team engaging in the comments with links, Venmo, etc. The most effective streams I've seen have brand ambassadors monitoring the chat, and this not only aids the user experience, but also adds an element of engagement and potential monetary reward for connecting with users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is YouTube Live solving and how is that benefiting you?

Problems: Desire to engage/interact with my favorite artists. Desire to see live music, in particular.

Benefits: Great quality, feeling of community and engagement, general entertainment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about YouTube Live?

YouTube Live is the best way to share information where numerous people can connect at a time, people can also comment which make little interaction with the host. It not only interact with the host we can also explore a lot of other things with participants in the chatbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YouTube Live?

Well, Youtube is the platform where we can conduct meetings for sharing information but the host cannot deal with all the participants, sometimes, Users have to subscribe to the channel before using the chatbox, sometime chatboxes get messages in access which may confuse a lot of people, the Mute or unmute feature is not available like other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is YouTube Live solving and how is that benefiting you?

YouTube Live also solves a lot of issues like if someone misses the beginning part of the lecture or anything they can restart from there, can jump forward or backward, check the total participant, adjust the volume according to thyself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YouTube Live?

The live feature works differently on mobile phones and desktops. Various features are enabled only after meeting the conditions, and paid promotions and ads are also allowed accordingly. There is no support chat or person. Everything is read and implemented as per the answers. Various other Google tools need to be enabled, including extra proof of identity and unrelated things, for the payments and ads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is YouTube Live solving and how is that benefiting you?

Educating the world, old, young, and children with the true meaning of Quality Education.

There are lots of people, targetted and non- targetted, who see the streams and find them quite useful for their lives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
