YouTube Live | How to Livestream an event

Settings:

Cubigo needs your YouTube Channel ID

To Start:

• Start Live Video in YouTube – Chrome is best.

First step: Choose a title for your live stream

First step: Scroll down and select "No, it's not made for kids"

First step: Click "Show more" and check if "Allow embedding" is checked

Third step: Select public for the Live Stream

• Go live in Cubigo Back Office (Publish | Digital Signage | Settings) and start broadcast on selected channels. This takes over the channel and interrupts the carousel of slides. Priority messages are not visible

To stop:

• Stop live broadcast on Cubigo
• End video on YouTube – it will be saved - so you can replay it through scheduled broadcast in the future as well. It will be saved as public - so if you want it to be hidden, go to your Channel Library, and make it unlisted.

Troubleshooting:

If you want to double-check that your video is not restricted, then you can test this by going to the live stream watch page while you are live. 

The link to the watch page is not on the Youtube website, you need to compose it yourself

Go to your channel page, for example:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0bQYjjRHlPoCI0TnvEzd5Q/videos

Copy your channel ID from the URL and replace it with this URL:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/live_stream?channel=UC0bQYjjRHlPoCI0TnvEzd5Q

If you are live with the correct settings, then you should see your live stream on this url.
