Overall Satisfaction with YouTube Live

YouTube Live is perfect to engage dynamic range of audience. I have used it to engage with over 1,25,000 unique individuals over 3500 live streams enabling to build a connected and dedicated community. It also helped build business outcomes. Livestreams have been used for patient engagement sessions, webinars, live felicication events, award ceremonies and multilocation digital sessions. It was a lifeline during peak of lockdown with most people preferring to connect over live streams and not watch news or other stale media content. Over time we have streamed live interviews , podcasts and even fun activities across gepgraphies

Pros

  • YouTube Live is so easy to use that it doesnt need a lot of technical expertise to go live, it engages with audience through live chat and reactions ensuring 2 way connect
  • It is very easy to connect via rtmp to streaming softwares thus making the engagement much better using different approaches
  • It records, transcribes and makes sharing and resharing content very simple and easy
  • It is bery easy to embedd into different applications and webpages or even whatsapp

Cons

  • It could have options of studio like a oneline platform of Restream of fb live to help make multi people connect, tickers etc
  • There should be options of virtual backdrops and faceless live streams with other videos or images via mobile
  • It could make resharing content a little easier to more platforms and also improve the auto edits into bite sized content
  • basically, YouTube Live helped us keep our patience and consumers engaged to read the peak of the lockdown it helped keep the community intact such that the patients would not watch regular TV or news. And join us for almost eight to nine live stream sessions per day,
  • YouTube Live has also been instrumental in creating engagement with the audiences so. That they feel like hard, combined with. streaming platform. We have got excellent outputs, by embedding QR codes, link tickers etc and being able to get good business outcomes also from time to time.
so YouTube Live is fairly very easy to use, and now one can even go live directly from mobile without the need of any streaming software etcetera but overall, when you combine it with a streaming software the output becomes definitely much better. YouTube has one of the highest number of audience and discoverability of quality content is relatively more easier. It's one of the most popular platforms, sharing content on it. Transcribing it. Editing it. Adding post production musics. Blurring et cetera is very easy on Youtube, and thus YouTube Live which, is an extension of Youtube, makes the experience very wholesome.
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

Did implementation of YouTube Live go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy YouTube Live again?

Yes

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.
