Youtube Stream Publishing

Last updated 3 hours ago

The Stream Targets feature in MediaCP allows you to send live streams to widely distributed destinations, including YouTube stream publishing.

 ✅ MediaCP Video ✅  Flussonic ✅ Wowza Streaming Engine

Important Information

YouTube stream targets must be enabled by your system administrator before this can be configured.

Before starting, please review YouTube’s Best Practices for Live Streaming

YouTube stream targets have the following requirements for live streams:

  • The maximum resolution is 2160p at 60 frames per second.

  • The recommended maximum video bitrate is 35 Mbps.

  • Audio must be included in the stream

  • The audio bitrate must be 128 kbps or 384 kbps for surround

  • The key frame size is 2 seconds (recommended) to 4 seconds (do not exceed)

  • The sample rate is 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz

Configure YouTube Stream Target

Publishing to YouTube using our Stream Targets function, allows broadcasters to stream to their YouTube channel.

You will see the option to connect your YouTube account, once permissions have been granted the broadcast title, description, privacy, category etc can all be configured before going live.
