15 and a half. Vlog 15 and a half, what is that? Well this is the technical broadcast,
this is camera two of our Vlog on how to use the YouTube select camera select feature,
which is a little-known feature on how to use multiple cameras in a single YouTube video.
Well, it's multiple youtube videos, we're going to get into all of the technical specifications on how
to use this on the YouTube backend. Thank you for tuning in to this technical broadcast, this is camera two
on the below right here you should see a camera switch button.
That's really great because you can switch between our normal camera and our second camera
as you can see in this little video here.
So without further ado, I'd like to transfer you over to our technical broadcast
video we're going to show you the backend of YouTube and how to use this switch
camera feature that's kind of hidden in YouTube but it's a really cool feature,
there's two ways to livestream, you can stream now or you can
use your events, and just just a little tip here the stream now button here
you wanna be a little careful with this cause the stream key down here, you don't want anyone else to ever get that
or else they can stream to your channel.
But you can see it's offline, as far as I know there are no there is no
way to just stream with the live feature, and get additional cameras.
You must go to the events tab, and create an event.
So I'm gonna go create a new live event, and PTZOptics we'll just say testing. Well,
the PTZOptics multiple, let's do the switch
camera feature in YouTube. The little known switch camera feature.
So we'll save that and we'll click create event...
Now what we need to do, so once that event is created,
just let it create for a second there...
You would give it a thumbnail, which is really important cause what we'll show in a minute here,
is the the actual thumbnails that get displayed so that people know what camera they wanna switch to.
What I'm gonna do here is I'm gonna hit add camera,
Oh, it's making it's forcing me to do okay... So I would definitely add a thumbnail there I don't have one prepared,
but this is going to be the technical broadcast,
and you would select your bit rate of 1080p, and then you could stream
to this address, and then once both streams are live it will link those videos together
and they will be available for switching cameras, not only live but also on demand,
like a normal YouTube video. So I just wanted to show you guys how that works,
thumbnails are really important the main camera's really important,
one of the things I've learned already, is that if- and of course you have to select your bit rate there,
if you start your try to start your livestream, and you have two cameras and both cameras are not streaming,
the stream will not start. So, if you somehow went in here and set up a third camera
and you only had two streams you have to go in and delete that third camera
before you can start your live stream.
So that is the really the technical stuff behind this, the stream name and the stream url if you've never streamed
before, that information goes into your streaming software so whether it's open broadcast software,
or something along those lines, you take the url and the stream key, and that is how you stream it to Youtube.
Once you're streaming, you can then you'll see that this will say streaming good, in fact I guess I could stream really quickly
just to show you that, and then we'll just for this.
So the main camera, so that's my key there so I'm going to go ahead and stream
to that key really quickly, start a stream to it,
and I'm streaming, now if I go into live control room, you can see there's a 1080p stream
coming in, it's gonna it's just gonna take a second to digest it says health is good,
you've got a little preview here,
it looks like it's just so new I've gotta I've gotta refresh this page here,
it should come up... Oh look they've got a new create highlights while live feature. Wow, they've got some cool stuff.
But anyway that's your stream, I can oh I have to hit the preview button, and that will allow me to preview it...
It's saying here that your multi-stream isn't- is only getting one camera,
and that's it, so that's that's the technical stuff behind this...
Ok and that is it, subscribe to our YouTube channel to learn more I hope this was an exciting Vlog, enjoy everybody.
