With
over 2 billion views a day, it's easy to think about YouTube as a place
to watch videos recorded in the past. But you’ve told us you want more -
and that includes events taking place right now. In response, we’ve live streamed a number of popular concerts, sporting events, and interviews, but primarily on a one-off basis.
Today
we're announcing the initial roll out of YouTube Live, which will
integrate live streaming capabilities and discovery tools directly into
the YouTube platform for the first time. This begins with a new YouTube
Live browse page (www.youtube.com/live),
where you can always find the most compelling live events happening on
YouTube and add events to your calendar. Subscribe to your favorite
YouTube live-streaming partners to be notified of upcoming live streams
on your customized homepage.
Today,
we'll also start gradually rolling out our live streaming beta
platform, which will allow certain YouTube partners with accounts in
good standing to stream live content on YouTube. The goal is to provide
thousands of partners with the capability to live stream from their
channels in the months ahead. In order to ensure a great live stream
viewing experience, we'll roll this offering out incrementally over
time. Partners interested in learning more about the livestream
experience can check out today's post on the Partner Communications Hub.
So head over to www.youtube.com/live to check out some of the live streams taking place over the next few days. And don’t forget to tune in to the The DigiTour live stream tonight at 7pm PST.

community using our live comments feature. As always, let us know what
