What do you like best about YouTube Live?

I love the You tube Live features such as Live chart replay because am able to chart with my fans through direct question asking and instant response. It's ability to view conversations even when i miss the live chart, ability to locate places where the creator is through location tag feature which indicates the exact place. I like the accuracy in video capturing when using Live automatic captions. Live caption feature is also very quick and inexpensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YouTube Live?

You Tube live streaming is quite expensive for the creator because you have to pay for it in order to have an account. It is also expensive for the viewer because it consumes lots of internet bundles for one to view the posted videos. It also takes long to load a video which can be inconveniencing and nagging most times. It also occupies lots of space most especially on mobile phones which leads to the freezing of the device sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering YouTube Live:

You tube live is the best platform for advertising most especially to those in the business sector. It's where you can be relived from stress and your long day of work because of it's massive entertainment such as comedy, movies, news, which can be watched live even as your doing your own things anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am advertising lots of my business staff on You tube live Which has widened my market.I am able to store information and even pass out information to the public easily on You Tube live because it is secure. You tube live is also entertaining me in my leisure time since it has lots of good and funny things watch such as comedy, sermons, movies etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I love its compatibility with Apple TV products and Roku which are products that many customers already have. Its userface is extremely highly usable and easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YouTube Live?

I think that it is really missing some lifestyle channels, but perfect for streaming sports. If you have a particular show you really love, then YouTube Live is not worth it. In the end, the price doesn't seem worth if you are already hooked on the shows you're watching through current streaming services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering YouTube Live:

There has been a recent price hike, but they are continually looking to add more content such as their recent addition of Discovery channels. I would stay updated on their changes and only look to add if you're set on completely cutting off cable and they have everything you are looking for or if you're willing to use multiple streaming sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It has really helped filling in some of the gaps that other streaming services do not have. If you're looking to completely cut off cable, then this can help you get there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about YouTube Live?

It's very simple to navigate and get started Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YouTube Live?

Honestly, from my experience, I can't think of anything that I disliked Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering YouTube Live:

Like anything, do your research. Maybe do some trial runs with the unlisted feature. We've done that in the past. If we were trying something new or just wanted to test a function, we would do an unlisted video so our subscribers weren't notified that we were going live. And also so they wouldn't be able to see a random shot of our room while we were testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Problems we were solving was reaching a broader audience to enable them to view our services from home. I guess that would be the main benefit as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
