Youtube has continued to improve the platform, including a ton of features for livestreams, as well as lowering the threshold for fan funding through the youtube partner program making it easier for creators to start earning on the platform with livestreaming memberships, super chats, super thanks and more. These features enable even small channels to accomplish what they have felt was once impossible. I have been a Youtube user since it's founding in 2005 and am impressed with the progress made since then. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like how simple it seems to be for hackers/spammers to flood the live chat during livestreams some times, it would be nice if they had some way to combat bots and a flood of spam comments in chat. Otherwise I'm happy with the direction they continue to go thus far with making improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

YouTube live is a great way to stream anything live - I've used it to stream my fitness sessions live often for 0 Excuses Fitness. One particularly helpful feature is it saves livestreams automatically which is a huge help - that isn't available with Twitch, another service I sometimes use. They have a lot of useful features too in terms of promotion, allowing a fairly long title etc - reliability - and working well on mobile connection (not something I experienced with Twitch) is something I really appreciate. Nothing more annoying then getting disconnected while live streaming, kills FLOW so to speak.

All in all, a great offering by the guys at YouTube. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the way it takes 2-3 days to enable youtube live when it's according me shall be straightforward api call.

It's not well optimized to work on a slow network like a dual stream etc.

The keys are tricky to use on website itself as sometimes they start a live video and sometimes they do not.

Audio frequency needs to be well balanced and needs to be at a specific frquency or it doesn't work. It took 2 days to figure out right frequency using ffmpeg. Auto audio tune based on audio freq received would be great feature in future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to get my viewers live reactions in real time . And being able to connect with my viewers quickly and easily.
