So you're looking to set up sand schedule your first live event on YouTube?
Well this is the right video for you!
Now YouTube's made it possible to live stream your content across the world with just a
few clicks of a few buttons and in this video I'm going to show you how simple it is to
click the right buttons to set up and schedule your first live event on YouTube.
Let's take a look!
Ok to set up and schedule your live events on YouTube first thing we need to do is mouse
up here to the top, click on the gear here and come down to Video Manager.
Now we need to make sure that our channel is actually enabled to do live events and
to do that we come under Channel Settings and we need to make sure that we have a green
button here, if we do not see the green button I made a video on showing you how to enable
live events on YouTube.
Just watch this video and you'll be good.
Now if you have a green button let's go ahead and click on Video Manager and we're going
to come down to live events right here.
Once we're here we're able to either click this link or this button now you might see
a little bit different screen but it will say "schedule your first event" or whatever.
So let's go ahead and click this button and it brings you to this page right here.
And this page basically looks familiar, it's basically the same information with a little
added information, when you're uploading a YouTube video.
So let's go ahead and give it a title, we'll just call it Live Events - Preview.
And you can also notice here you can select a date, so we'll say it's on the 17th, and
we're going to do it at 2:30 in the morning.
You can also do an end time, let's say I want to go until 4:30 and on that same specific
date.
Now you can also select the time, basically the time that's going to show up.
Now for you it's going to show up default where your at, I'm in Utah so I'm on Mountain
Time.
You can also put a description here, we'll just do live event and you want to treat this
exactly like what you're doing when you're optimizing a video, and go from there.
So we'll just go ahead and put "Live Event - YouTube" you can put your tags in there,
which is great.
Now here's a couple things that your able to see you can do private, you can do unlisted,
and you can do public.
Now in doing live events you can actually do private and it won't stream across anywhere,
ok?
And you can put the names of the individuals in there, or their email addresses, or basically
the circles that they actually belong to in your Google+ profile.
Really cool.
You can select your category, now here's another thing, you can actually pick what type to
do.
You can either use a hangouts on air or you can do a custom and it has more encoding options.
In this training it's going to basically be the simple version.
I will have an advanced training to show you how to use the custom mode.
Once we're there we can go ahead and click on Advanced and this is still putting the
information that you need and you can do promotions through InVideo programming when the event
is live.
So when people are watching your video that the message comes up and says "Hey, you know,
there's a live event going on" you're able to do that and at the end you can actually
automatically make the video private, once the event is ended, if you're doing it as
an unlisted one.
If you don't want it to show up you're able to go from there.
You're also able to monetize this and once that's done you can go ahead and create an
event.
Now once the event is created you can see right now that we actually have a scheduled
event and it is private, so nobody is seeing this, but yet it is scheduled, you can click
this start button and where we did this as a hangout on air it's basically start hangout
on air.
But it is going to be live streaming across the board so it's going to launch this and
we're able to do the specific live event via hangouts on air and it will stream across
the board.
Now really launching a hangouts on air directly from your YouTube live events manager, it's
really nice.
And it's really quick and simple way to engage your fans live and invite other people to
collaborate with you and join your video and your show and to grow your channel.
Now I'd really love how you're going to use YouTube live and also hangouts on air to grow
your channel, put it in the comments below.
I bet there are going to be some great ideas!
so before you go, I made a ton of videos on my channel and the soul purpose is to help
you become more successful on YouTube.
So why don't you take a moment and watch a video or two or even three or four, I put
them all over here.
Wait, no wait!
I double dog dare you to watch those videos.
NO!
I triple dog dare you!
You can't go wrong with a triple dog dare, right?
Thanks, guys!
