YouTube is gearing up to roll out a new feature that will allow select creators to invite a guest to go live with them, the company announced on its Creator Insider channel and in a blog post. At launch, creators will only be able to co-stream via a phone, as the feature won\u2019t be available on the desktop version of YouTube. The new feature will initially only be available to a select group of creators, but YouTube plans to expand co-streaming to more creators in the future.<\/p>\n
Creators can schedule a livestream with a guest from their computer and then go live from a mobile phone. Or, they can go live immediately from their mobile phone. Although you can rotate guests on your livestream, you can only have one guest appear at a time. Once you invite a guest, your stream feed will show above your guest\u2019s.<\/p>\n
In the next few weeks, some creators will be able to select the new \u201cGo Live Together\u201d button on their accounts. Creators need to start by entering their stream details, including the title, description, monetization settings, thumbnails and visibility settings. After selecting the \u201cInvite a co-streamer\u201d option, creators will be able to choose a guest to invite to their livestream. After the guest clicks the invite, they will be sent to a waiting room. When both people are ready, the host can tap the \u201cGo Live\u201d button.<\/p>\n
YouTube\u2019s guest streams can run advertisements, but revenue will solely go to the host. It\u2019s worth noting that the stream won\u2019t appear on the guest\u2019s channel, but YouTube says it\u2019s aware that visibility on guest channels is important, which indicates that the company could potentially ship the feature in the future.<\/p>\n
The launch of the new feature comes as TikTok and Twitch recently launched their own co-streaming features. A few weeks ago, TikTok rolled out a new feature called \u201cMulti-Guest\u201d that lets hosts go live with up to five other people using a grid or panel layout.\u00a0Last week, Twitch officially launched a new feature called Guest, which lets streamers easily pull other creators and fans into their streams for talk show-like experience. Guest Star makes it possible for anyone to pull up to five speakers into a stream at once.<\/p>\n
Unlike with YouTube\u2019s co-streaming feature, TikTok and Twitch both allow you go live with more than one person. Given that YouTube\u2019s co-streaming is still in the early stages, it\u2019s possible that it may expand the limit to allow creators to go live with multiple people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
