What do you like best about YouTube Live?

What I like best about YouTube Live is that it is very simple to set up a live stream. YouTube live also makes it simple to interact with the audience that is viewing your content. With the live chat to the side of your screen, you can easily reply to your audience at an almost immediate rate. Tags also make it easy for people to find you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YouTube Live?

I dislike that there is not a preview window that allows you to preview what YouTube sees before officially going live. Optimally, if when you started streaming with your encoder it was in a preview state until you hit something like a "Go Live" button, it would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering YouTube Live:

When weighing your options as to which streaming platform to go with, realize that the largest audience is likely going to be found on YouTube. Also, with the many years YouTube has behind their belt for streaming pre-recorded video, their servers were made to withstand the bandwidth required for a healthy stream. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being able to submit church content to a broader audience has been a huge benefit to our church. People are able to see our services without actually having to attend the service in person. This helps people on vacation, sick, or just looking to see what the church is all about. Church attendance has also increased since the implementation of this service.

What do you like best about YouTube Live?

Easy to use and to reach a large audience! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YouTube Live?

I am frustrated because Youtube live can be very slow at times I also used the Youtube video editor beta and it was ridiculously slow, I do not recommend if you're under a tight deadline. I am not sure if they do this stuff via cloud and if traffic is involved maybe going live at different times is better ... there is a risk of technical difficulties. I am still getting comfortable with it, there's some maneuverability issues with Youtube product layouts, it's not always intuitive what the steps are and how to do all the things you want to do, I guess you could say it takes some trial and error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering YouTube Live:

it's clunky... and the beta stuff is SLOW!! The potential is there. I have seen this used to great success and hope that more practice with it will give is an edge and get ore people at our org on board with using this platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's a platform most people know, so no on boarding your users or alienation them. For better or worse Youtube is a household name and when you mention you're using Youtube live for an event your participants will trust that and be comfortable checking it out. We still need to create more media to put out there maybe this summer. I am going to do some research other companies experiences with it for sure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about YouTube Live?

That it is connected directly to YouTube so you don’t have to start a new account and make all your followers from YouTube join another platform to watch your livestream. Extremely convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YouTube Live?

It is not connected to Twitch so the followers that you might have had on Twitch would not be notified unless you stream on both platforms at the same time which is sometimes a pain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering YouTube Live:
