YOUTUBE LIVE STREAMING GUIDE
Setup your encoder
In order for your viewers to see your live content, you need to send us an encoded stream.
- Launch Wirecast for YouTube and sign in with your YouTube channel name and password under Broadcast --> Broadcast Settings.
- Choose your event and click Save.
- Configure your audio and video sources. (For more instructions, click the Need Help icon within Wirecast for YouTube.)
- When ready to start encoding, click Broadcast button on the top left corner.
- Choose to stream to either the Primary or Backup server.
- For redundancy, you should have two separate machines running; one streaming to the primary and another streaming to the backup.
- Click Start Streaming. You are now encoding.Don't stop here! You still need to start the event on YouTube!
- Launch FMLE (make sure have the most recent version) and open the XML profile you downloaded fromIngestion Settings when you created your live event. The encoder settings will automatically populate.
- For redundancy, you should have two separate machines running; one streaming to the primary and another streaming to the backup.
- Configure your audio and video sources.
- Click Start. You are now encoding.Don't stop here! You still need to start the event on YouTube
- Copy the YouTube entrypoints from Ingestion Settings to your encoder
- Stream Name - This identifies your stream on YouTube's servers.
- Primary Server URL - This is the main server where your stream will be ingested by YouTube.
- Backup Server URL - This is the backup server where your stream will be ingested by YouTube.
- Choosing to stream to the backup is recommended but requires double the outbound bandwidth (you are outputting a simultaneous redundant stream). So make sure that you have the internet bandwidth capacity.
- Ideally, your backup stream should be on an entirely redundant physical encoder.
- Configure your encoder using YouTube's recommended encoding settings.
- Configure your audio and video sources.
