YouTube's latest live features lean into the collaboration and audience interaction that already define livestreaming. See all the new tools available to both viewers and your favorite streamers. mashable.com/life/youtube-li…

Dual stream is the most underused feature on YouTube.
1 stream is horizontal and vertical at the same time.
The vertical version lands in the Shorts feed, so scrollers find you live.
You reach 2 audiences from the same effort.
Set up the vertical key on your next stream.
one live stream. two formats. more ways to get discovered. ✨ streamers using 3rd-party encoders can now stream in both vertical and horizontal formats, customize each view, and keep everyone together in one shared chat. learn more 👉 yt.be/uVUFL
"Everyone should be on YouTube"
Kai Cenat explains why he started streaming on YouTube and signed a YouTube deal, saying Twitch has around 150 million monthly users while YouTube reaches 2–3 billion users every day, and says every Samsung phone comes with the YouTube app pre-installed, and YouTube is an untapped market 👀

At #MadeOnYouTube, we shared that on average, over 30% of daily logged-in viewers watched live content in Q2 2025. That’s why we're making our biggest live streaming upgrade yet. Here’s what’s coming soon to live:
Practice before going live: Rehearse content and test your setup without a live audience. When you're ready, switch to a public live stream directly from the practice session.
Playables on Live: Play from a library of 75+ games while interacting through chat, and monetize the stream like any other broadcast.
New ways to get discovered: Stream in both horizontal and vertical formats simultaneously with a single chat, react live to other streams on mobile, and use new AI-powered highlights that automatically create Shorts from livestreams.
More ways to monetize: Side-by-side ads will offer a less intrusive way to earn revenue without interrupting a stream and channel membership creators will be able to easily transition from public to members-only livestreams.

Today we @youtube lost a teammate, mentor, and friend, @SusanWojcicki. I had the good fortune of meeting Susan 17 years ago when she was the architect of the DoubleClick acquisition. Her legacy lives on in everything she touched @google and @youtube. I am
forever grateful for her friendship and guidance. I will miss her tremendously. My heart goes out to her family and loved ones.
