[MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey, guys.
My name is Tim Schmoyer, and it's
Wednesday, time for some YouTube tips and ideas,
suggestions, advice, just like we do good
every week here at Video Creators.
I got a guest with us here.
He's a good friend of mine named Ronnie Bincer.
And this guy is like the master at Hangouts On Air.
In fact, most of what I've learned about my own Hangouts
On Air, I have learned from him.
I'm want to share with you guys today about how to set up
a Google+ Hangout On Air.
For some of you, that might sound really intimidating.
It's actually really simple.
My friend Ronnie Bincer is here to show you
exactly how it do that.
So if we look right over here on the Google+ page,
you can pull down on the left side to where it says Hangouts.
And you want to get right to that spot.
Then you scroll down the page a bit
until you see this blue button that says,
Start a Hangout On Air.
I'm going to go ahead and click that.
And it opens up a little dialogue box right there.
It says, Hangout On Air, give it a name.
We're going to do this really fast.
And when I say really fast, look at that.
I already typed it in just to get going.
So we've got a title on the very top.
This is going to make, by the way, a YouTube video.
So that's your YouTube title.
This is the description text right below it.
We get to decide when do we want this show to start,
now or later?
I'm going to click Later.
Choose a date, choose a time, how long we want it to be.
And then, who do we want to have see it?
The normal setting is Public.
Leave it on that way.
However, for the sake of me making the training,
I'm going to get rid of the public
and make it what's called an Unlisted Hangout on Air.
And I'm going to basically broadcast that just to myself.
So I type in my name, click on my icon,
and now I'm ready to share.
So here we go.
And what it did is it loaded up and made
this Hangout On Air Event Landing Page.
So now people can get invited.
If you scroll down here, you can click
a button that says Invite More.
That's how you invite others to it.
But it's your show, so when you're
ready to do your live broadcast the day of the show,
the time right before the show, you go to this button
right here that says Start, the blue button.
I'm going to click on it.
That opens up this Hangout On Air video broadcasting thing.
And then we're going to skip this.
Right here inside the video room we've
got controls above and on the sides.
It's a little jerky when you first start up,
but then it smooths out and everything's cool.
And then once it loads up, you'll
see a little countdown timer right here.
Once it loads up, we'll have a button
that allows us to start our broadcast-- right there, Start
the broadcast.
So that's how you get going with building a Hangout On Air event
and get right into the video rooms
that you're ready to start up your broadcast.
Thanks, Ronnie.
That was awesome.
