Today, we will teach you how to do YouTube 360 live stream correctly, without the limitation
of 1000 subscribers. Yes, you don't need to be famous to live stream on YouTube in 360.
2nd thing I want to teach you is how to get rid of that ugly black holes you see on 360
live streaming. If you saw my review, you know Qoocam 8K or Enterprise, or the little Qoocam
Fun has a perfect 4K 360 livestream on YouTube. But if you live stream with Labpano Pilot One,
Insta360 Pro 2 or the latest Teche 360Anywhere, you see that ugly black holes on the top and
bottom of your 360 videos during LIVE, but it goes away after YouTube processed your
video. We will learn how to avoid that even during LIVE within your Oculus VR headset.
If you want to reach thousands of live audiences on YouTube VR, and to produce the highest quality
professional 360 VR Livestream, this short tutorial is for you. Let's go.
Hey what's up, everyone! It is your Boi Hugh here from CreatorUp.
The #1 YouTube education channel teaches you how to film immersive video in Virtual Reality.
Virtual Production with Unreal Engine and 360 Live streaming are so
important right now during the post COVID era. And I want to teach you how to do
it correctly on one of the largest platforms in the world, YouTube VR.
If you are not sure why your business should do 360 livestream, check out this video right here.
First, you don't need 1000 subscribers to live stream 360 on YouTube VR. Just don't use the
YouTube API! YouTube API requires app users to have at least 1000 subs to use the API to stream.
This is the YouTube button on your Insta360 One R or Qoocam 8K app. Don't use that.
You use the old school RTMP stream. Honestly, no matter how many YouTube followers you have,
you just never use the camera app for livestreaming, write this down!
Here is how to use RTMP to live stream on YouTube in 2020.
1. Select live stream icon — pick RTMP instead of YouTube (Insta360, Labpano, or Qoocam 8K all works
kinda the same. It is the last option usually) 2. On your YouTube account on a computer,
click this little camera icon and select Go Live. A bouns tips - you can enable Super Chat on
YouTube to make money from your viewers. If you are an musician, artist, or performer,
I highly recommand you to enable Super Chat right here - so you can take in super fan donation.
3. Go to streaming settings and enable “360° video”
Before we are moving forward, we are
going to explain one common problem I saw in almost every 360 Livestream out there - the
blackholes if you look up and down in VR headset during LIVE.
You will see this if you are live streaming with Labpano Pilot One or the brand new Teche
360Anywhere. This is because all these cameras stream in 2 by 1 ratio - which is
3840 by 1920. YouTube expect a 4K stream in 3840 x 2160. Because of this resolution mismatch,
we get ourselves ugly blackholes. No worry, we can easy solve this by following these extra steps:
4 - Go to Stream Key drop down and select Create new stream key
5 - Give a name and description, under Maximum Stainable Bitrate that you can support -
choose 13Mbps - 30Mbps 4K. This is extremely important if you are doing professional 4K 360
Livestream. If you are using 360Anywhere, Labpano Pilot One, Insta360 Titan, or the new updated
Insta360 Pro 2 - then you have to choose this and keep your upstream speed around 13 - 30Mbps.
6 - For Teche 360Anywhere, it can do 4K 60fps 360 Livestream - it gives
great result if you are doing sports broadcast. But for anyone else, don't check this.
7 - Hit Create
Now copy and paste the server URL and Stream Key onto your app.
Make sure you add a slash between your Server URL and Stream Key if you only have 1 input box
like Qoocam 8K - then you are ready to go LIVE!
Professional Multi-stream 360 VR Live
The brand new Teche 360Anywhere is the best 360 camera for Livestream without a stitch
box computer. Qoocam 8K Enterprise can also match that quality, but it requires an extra
license of Qoocam Live and a powerful PC as a stitch box - which can get really expensive.
Another feature of 360Anywhere is to allow you to stream in 2 YouTube channels simultaneously
in 360. Or stream on YouTube VR and Facebook 360 at the same time. Let me show you how now:
Go to Live tap and turn on Build-in Transcoding. Live Protocol is RTMP.
You can set 8K or 4K livestreaming. But now you have 2 push stream
addresses that you can input 2 streams to different platforms.
This potentially allows you to charge your client twice the money and really help grow your 360 live
streaming business. Right now, only 360Anywhere has this feature. I hope more 360 cameras will
roll out this useful feature as well. If I just help you to make more money,
give me a like and help me to share this video to your friends on social media!
Thank you for watching this short 360 live streaming tutorial on YouTube VR.
As a VR streamer, you should suggest your viewers to watch it on VR headsets like Oculus Quest. 360
Livestream shot on Qoocam 8K Enterprise or Teche 360Anywhere looks really good - and I am confident
to say at this point, 360 Livestream quality is really good and ready for the mass market
adaptation. With the Oculus Quest 2 launch, it brings down the price of every VR headsets,
at the same time, double the image quality. But one question remains for the US market, how
to do 360 Livestream on the new Facebook? Well, this will be the next tutorial. So don't forget to
