Impressed with this so far. The video is smooth and looks great. I love that they offer transcoding and DVR functionality to all streamers, where Twitch only offers transcoding to 'partnered' streamers.

YouTube Gaming excels in some places, but falls behind in others; for example, Twitch does a better job at surfacing new users who stream, compared to YouTube Gaming which feels like it props up already popular gaming channels.
So this is a lot less interesting now that I've heard from some Twitch streamers. Almost all I've heard from is avoiding this platform based on the TOS, especially when it comes to music & how YouTube handles streams. For example, if you're playing GTA5 with the in-game radio on, YouTube will kill your stream within 5 minutes (no mute, no warning, straight kill shot).
Not off to a hot start with the folks who really count.
@xmcgraw this isn't true. At least not the norm. I've been streaming on YouTube for over a month and never has this happened even though in music sometimes is copyrighted.
Really nice, lot better than Twitch in my perspective. With all the vloggers Youtube already has and the large amount of gaming related content, this will be huge.
Twitch, be afraid, be very afraid! This looks amazing! I love the Ui and all the unique features of it so far! Just needs to be populated more now, perhaps partnership with Riot Games?
