YouTube Offers 24/7 Live Streaming
by Bern Rexer
This is good news to many live streaming producers such as 24/7 newscasters, podcasters, and 'web' cams such as animal cameras.
The v2 YouTube live streaming platform was introduced at the beginning of the year - and it offered an industry first for free live streaming by transcoding single high bit rate encoded streams into multiple - equal and lower bit rate viewer streams - saving bandwidth and processing on the head end.
This announcement continues YouTube's trend of upgrading their live streaming platform.

YouTube Live Mini Conference
YouTube will
offer its first conference for live streaming on October 25th 2013.
The single
day event will be held at the YouTube Space LA - a
new facility with over 40,000 square feet of studio space, sound stages, cameras
and editing equipment.
Live events on
YouTube have increased dramatically this year after a series of announcements
offering the feature to many channel owners. The latest statement from YouTube
in August offered live streaming to any channel with at least 100 subscribers.
On Labor Day
YouTube Creators posted on their Google+ Page
that anyone with the YouTube live feature enabled on their
channel were open to attend the limited seating YouTube Live Mini Convention.
The registration site, which will be active September 3rd, says that the day of sessions will feature industry professionals, vendor demonstrations, and workshops. See the Schedule below.
The conference may not be offered elsewhere and may be your only time to get direct communication with YouTube's live streaming department staff. The Live Team stated that there are no plans at this time to offer this event at their New York offices.
