YouTube "Go Live"

Go live. Any time. For any reason.

The feature currently works only on the Google Chrome browser, but will expand to other browsers in time. Before today, YouTube users would have to use encoding software to capture content – including their desktop, camera, and microphone – and send it to YouTube to be live streamed. The new feature is meant to make the process of live streaming from the desktop easier and quicker, which could potentially enable more YouTube users to take advantage of the functionality.
