Stream to a scheduled YouTube event

If you already created a live event in YouTube Studio, you can stream into it from ApexStream instead of creating a new broadcast automatically.

What you need first

Create the event in YouTube Studio before connecting it to ApexStream. YouTube will give you a stream URL and stream key for that event.

Connect the scheduled event

1. In your ApexStream dashboard, go to Integrations or open the Channels panel in Web Studio.
2. Choose YouTube and select the option to stream to an existing event or use a manual key.
3. Paste the stream URL and stream key from YouTube Studio.
4. Give the connection a friendly name, like "YouTube — Product Launch Event."
5. Save the connection.

Go live into the event

1. Enter Web Studio or start your encoder.
2. Make sure the YouTube event connection is enabled in the Channels panel.
3. Click Go Live in ApexStream.
4. In YouTube Studio, click Go Live on the event to start sending it to your audience.

Good to know: Streaming to a scheduled event does not change the title or description you set in YouTube Studio. Update those details in YouTube before you go live.
