YouTube Live is blowing up and is becoming quite a popular live streaming platform. People have been carving out their core audience on YouTube Live, just like they would on Mixer or Twitch.

Streaming to YouTube Live using XSplit is crazy easy. Here’s how to do it.

First, you would need to set up your scenes and settings on XSplit Broadcaster or Gamecaster to your liking. If this is your first time setting them up, there are tutorials over here.

Once you’ve got all your scenes, settings, and alerts set up the way you like it, you want to connect XSplit to YouTube Live.

  1. Click on Outputs, scroll down to “Start a new output” and select YouTube Live.
