Why is Youtube streaming not working?

  1. Confirm that your YouTube is set up properly to stream.  LIV doesn't bypass YouTube's requirements.
    Age: You must be at least 16 years old to live stream on your own.
    Channel Verification: Your channel must be verified, usually by phone number, in YouTube Studio.
    No Restrictions: You must not have any live streaming restrictions in the past 90 days.
    24-Hour Wait: After enabling and verifying for live streaming, there is often a 24-hour waiting period before you can go live for the first time. 
     
  2. Verify that your YouTube account has been setup and enabled for Live Streaming.  Your YouTube must be eligible in order to stream.
    Sign in to YouTube and go to YouTube Studio.
    Navigate to Settings, then Channel, and select Feature eligibility.
    Verify that Intermediate features level 2 is enabled.
    YouTube account has been enabled for at least 24 hours

  3. Ensure you've granted permission for LIV Hub to have access to your YouTube account when you connected. If you didn't, you may have to disconnect and start again.  If needed, you can reset your LIV Hub and YouTube account link at https://myaccount.google.com/connections

  4. Go to YouTube Studio in your web browser, select Create (top right), Go live, then you can start streaming from LIV hub or from in game using LIV camera

  5. Use RTMP. As a last resort, you can set up a manual RTMP connection to YouTube rather than using the YouTube connection. You can find how to get your stream key from YouTube's tutorials.  

    The URL would look something like rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/YourPrivateStreamkey
    Example: rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

    Note: You can copy/paste with Meta Quest by holding down the trigger until the copy or paste option shows.
