New! YouTube Live Streaming features w/ @Lanaslifeee

@Lanaslifeee joins YouTube Creator Liaison @ReneRitchie and YouTube's product manager for live, @BarbaraEMac to talk all about the big new features for 2025: ● Stream across formats with a combined chat: You can now stream both horizontally and vertically at the same time, with viewers joining one shared chat (in experiment now, expanding over the coming months) ● AI-powered highlights from live streams: AI can automatically pull portions of your live stream into Shorts for you to review, and upload, helping you extend the reach of your live content (rolling out now) ● Practice before going live: Newer creators can practice live streaming on the mobile app without the pressure, and go live directly from practice mode when ready (coming later in 2025) ● React live to content on YouTube: Go live on mobile alongside eligible streams on YouTube to share your reaction to live content in real-time (testing early 2026) ● Side-by-side ads for live streams: Monetize your live streams with ads that minimize viewer disruption (available on desktop, expanding to mobile devices and more live streams later this year) ● Public to members-only live streams: If you have a channel membership or are considering enabling it, you can now easily transition from a public to a members-only livestream. This gives your entire audience a glimpse of the special value and community they could be experiencing as a member -- helping you get more paid members and create members-only content with ease (rolling out now) ● Playables on live streams: Interact with your audience while playing Playables within your vertical live stream in just one tap (in testing, expanding later in 2025)
