YouTube has announced it will start a two-day trial of their new streaming platform, which enables broadcasters to stream live video directly into YouTube channels.
YouTube has been dabbling with the live video streaming realm for quite some time now, having previously offered a live stream of a U2 concert and Indian Premier League cricket matches. Now, it’s taking it a step further, with a platform that will finally bring something akin to live TV to YouTube’s vast audience.
All broadcasters need for a live stream is either a webcam or a external USB/FireWire camera, and the platform also includes a live commenting module. It’s a test drive, however, and YouTube warns there might be some bumps along the way.
For starters, YouTube has brought in four content partners: Howcast, Next New Networks, Rocketboom and Young Hollywood. The test platform will be live in the next two days, starting at 8:00 a.m. PT; you can find the neatly embedded schedule of programming below.
