YouTube Live is best suited for conducting live interviews, live podcasts, live events, this could be either digital or physical events, community building, community connect, education, webinars, product launches. another good use case is for having live exercise sessions like live yoga sessions or meditation sessions where instructor led sessions can be conducted remotely and two way communication can be established using the chat function. only place where I feel it may not be great is where you want to limit the access to who joins into the live stream especially when you are embedding it into another page restricting sharing becomes difficult. Or having the person find the actual YouTube Live link and share it without your control might make it difficult.

  • I do find that sometimes the live music channels (not radio) that i have playing at the background of my workday has a lot of duplication. Like it's not live, more like few tracks on replay.

It's easy to use. People can easily use this platform to stream and watch streams. I am unsure how to advertise on the platform effectively. YouTube Live seems disconnected from the audience it aims to attract, which is crucial for its platform's success. I think there are just quality-of-life improvements that could make it better, even though it's easy to use

YouTube Live Is more cost effective it is more widely seen easily available and better while I have used Facebook Live, Linkedin Live, instagram live YouTube Live is more easier. to use, but combined with a multi streaming platform the net effect is excellent and you can actually stream to all the platforms together at the same time

  • It's become a reliable source of traffic (even years after each Live they keep adding views)
  • It's added hundreds of subscribers to my newsletter (where I sell my services and courses)
  • It has increased my visibility with less effort than in more produced non-live videos.
