Do they have the live feature on mobile? (I know this is specifically for the Webcam)

@lamaalrajih yup, we also have a way to go live from iOS and Android devices.

@lavrusik do you think that users will prefer Webcam over a dslr setup, or was this product designed for on the go type of livestreams (hotel rooms, etc). The YouTube esthetic is to film with a dslr as much as possible. I'm not a creator on YouTube myself, but it's there a way to him up a dslr and do a live video?

Interesting - looking forward to seeing how "open" this platform will grow to be in terms of devices/platforms/and especially developer tools/APIs! 2 concerns that I'm sure someone already thought of: 1) I fully expect to see this become Youtube's version of AMAs - probably sans "reddiquette" enforcement 🤔 2) What's the plan to avoid the FB Live launch story (streams of suicides/etc.?)

Nice work, @lavrusik and team. I'm curious what use cases you have seen (or expect to see) from webcam livestreaming (which is very different from streaming from a mobile phone).

@rrhoover good question. Creators who tested early versions have been using it for everything from live beauty tutorials, fan updates and live product reviews. We see a lot of high quality, serialized live learning and lifestyle content on YouTube Live - where creators are teaching or doing a tutorial as viewers ask them questions. Check out this example here:
