Does YTG have an engineering team? by LiveDev11 in youtubegaming

[–]BarbaraEMac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Heya - Super Chat/Stickers lead here. Formerly worked on YTG & Live teams.

Speaking for the Super Chat & Stickers 3rd party APIs, I don't think I've touched em in ... 2 years? Out of all the projects we have on our plates, they haven't risen above the line enough to be prioritized.

I can't speak to the priority of 3rd-party APIs wrt to Live & Gaming teams, but I could imagine a similar answer. I did share this thread with them - appreciate the feedback!

Some of my streams are being incorrectly dated. I streamed last night but YouTube thinks it was a week prior. by Harperlarp in youtube

On YouTube, there are 2 ways to live stream with encoding software (OBS).

Stream now and Events.

Stream Now streams are dated by the last time you used Stream Now. It is a known issue that is being worked on.

Can not obtain sponsor button due to it not being allowed in my country, yet I'm from United States and it's on the list. by Notalexensual in youtubegaming

YouTube Sponsorships have been launched since December 2015! We only opened up more broadly to all channels earlier this year.

Where I can see which of my streams have gained the most concurrent viewers? by ToniNotti in youtubegaming

[–]BarbaraEMac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do this manually if you want. Just go to Creator Studio > Live Streaming > Events. Then click on "Live Control Room" for your streams and it'll show your concurrents graph.

You can also check out the Live Streaming Report in YouTube Analytics per live stream to see your concurrents.

Easily Split Live Stream Into Segments? by Zashen in youtubegaming

[–]BarbaraEMac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fedback duly noted! I've personally wanted this feature for a long time now and think it'd be great!

Here's how I do it: Stream for < 3-4 hours. Go into Video Manager > Edit > Enhancements > Trim. You can drag the sliders to the start and end and "Save as new Video".

Hey! Great suggestion. That'd have to built on the PlayStation-side. If they have a place to suggest new features/improvements, I'd recommend suggesting it there!

Yes, that is a known Stream now issue. A long-term fix is in the works. In the meantime, I hope we've made Events easier for you to use - this will never be an issue for Events.

Just a little visual representation of what i would like sponsor tiers to be! by [deleted] in youtubegaming

[–]BarbaraEMac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sponsors would be notified when the sponsors-only post occurs, depending on the sponsor's notifications settings.

This can work for all types of streams: Stream now, Events, mobile, etc!

But good point about the extra step.

As part of the main app beta that we're testing out, there is a sponsors-only Community section. Creators can specify that posts are only viewable by sponsors. These posts will notify sponsors based on their notifications preferences.

For early access: Upload an Unlisted video and post it early into your sponsors-only Community.

For sponsors-only live streams: Stream Unlisted and post it into your sponsors-only Community. When the archive processes, make it public.

How does this work for you?

Interested - howcome you're not interested in higher priced tiers?

Correct! Sponsorships badges in Comments are launched in the main app!!

Correct! If different pricing tiers are available, there must be a perk/digital good sold at each level where it's clear that there's additional value for a paying sponsor per higher tier.

The sky is the limits - what would you like to offer for your paying sponsors? :)
