How To Start Multiple 24/7 Livestreams on Youtube?

To run multiple 24/7 livestreams on the same YouTube channel, you need to schedule them using the Managed Tab in YouTube Studio. Follow these steps to get started:

1. Open YouTube Live Studio and Click on Go live

Begin by opening YouTube Live Studio and clicking "Go live" at the top right corner, next to your user badge.

2. Navigate to the Managed Tab and Schedule a 24/7 Livestream

On the left, click the "calendar" icon to access the "Managed" tab and reveal the scheduling controls
Click on Schedule Stream.

It is crucial to use the Managed tab to schedule your stream. When you click on Go Live, YouTube will automatically try to start an instant, unscheduled stream, but you can close that, ignore it, and go to the managed tab, as described above.

Use the Managed tab to get started

3. Set Title, Description and other info

Fill in all the required data for your 24/7 stream, including the title, description, and other relevant details.

Make sure Streaming Software is selected as the broadcast type - as you will be streaming from Upstream!

4. Create a new RTMP Stream Key for Each 24/7 Livestream

This step is crucial for managing multiple live streams effectively.

5. Complete the Stream Key Information

Provide the necessary information for each unique stream key.

6. Check if the Correct Stream Key Is Selected

Make sure to select the appropriate RTMP stream key for each specific 24/7 Livestream.

7. Ensure YouTube Is Ready for Your 24/7 Livestream

Before you proceed, make sure YouTube is fully prepared to host your 24/7 livestream. You can confirm this by checking if you can see the grey icon indicating that everything is set to receive data from Upstream.

8. Start the Livestream on Upstream.so

Go to Upstream to initiate your 24/7 livestream. Follow the guidelines and settings (bitrate, framerate, format) of the platform you are streaming to to ensure smooth broadcasting.

Before starting your stream check if the live stream on Upstream has the correct stream key entered - you can check and update the RTMP key in "Settings" of each individual Stream

9. Go Live on YouTube

Finally, click the "Go Live" button on YouTube to start your permanent 24/7 livestream. Your audience will now have uninterrupted access to your content.

For detailed instructions on creating a live stream on Upstream.so, you can follow the same steps as if you were setting up a single livestream. Find more information here: How to Set Up 24/7 Live Stream on YouTube, Twitch, Rumble, Kick, or any other platform.
