How to broadcast live live video on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook

Live videos are certainly among the most appreciated online content by users. Initially introduced mainly on Twitch, they also managed to establish themselves on other social networks, even more popular and used. Obviously there is no shortage of these YouTube, Instagram e Facebook. For this reason, today we are going to see just how to create "Live" within the aforementioned services. Obviously there will be no limit of followers or subscribers, since anyone can start creating content of this type.

Broadcast direct videos on YouTube

So let's start with the online platform that comes closest, in terms of concept, to Twitch. On YouTube it is really easy to broadcast direct videos and they can even be planned to offer subscribers a sort of schedule to possibly follow. So let's see how to do it.

• Access the YouTube website from any web browser and enter your credentials (by clicking on "Login" at the top right)
• Continue with the button "Create" top right and then with "Broadcast Live"

• Set your name and, if required, add contact information
• Choose whether to start the live broadcast immediately or schedule it for a later time
• Set the webcam to use (the integrated one or an external one)
• Allow the use of the webcam and microphone
• Set a live title and privacy level
• Choose whether to offer content for children or not, possibly adding an age limit

At this point it will be possible to start the broadcast correctly, or to publish the notice of a live broadcast scheduled for a particular day at a particular time. If, on the other hand, you want to start broadcasting live via Android and iOS smartphones and tablets, just click on the "+" icon at the bottom center and continue with "Broadcast Live".

Broadcast direct videos on Facebook

Facebook instead has a very convenient button within the section dedicated to posts, with which it will be possible to access a page entirely dedicated to the creation and management of live broadcasts. Here you can manage all comments live, respond to the most interesting ones, invite other users to participate in the live broadcast and much more. So let's see how to access it.

• Reach the Facebook website by clicking on this link
• Log in with your credentials
• Click on the item "Live video" in the section dedicated to the creation of posts
• Choose the webcam and microphone to use and, of course, allow the browser to use them
• If necessary, invite other users to participate in the live broadcast
• Choose whether to proceed immediately with the live or schedule it for a later time
• Start the transmission

If you want to start from an Android or iOS smartphone and tablet instead, just click on the item "Live" in the post creation section, allow the use of microphone and camera and grant with "Start live video".

Broadcast direct videos on Instagram

Finally, as regards Instagram, it must be specified that unfortunately it will only be possible to proceed from a smartphone, as it will only be possible from a computer see the live but do not create them. The start-up process, however, will be quite simple and immediate.

• Open the Instagram app and log in with your credentials
• Click on the camera icon at the top left to access the content creation section
• From the options below (the “History” option is set by default), move the items to the right until you reach "Live"
• Confirm the use of camera and microphone
• Click on the central button at the bottom to start the live broadcast

Here, of course, there will be several advanced options, but it will still be possible to interact with your audience by replying to comments or using filters and effects.
