We started using YouTube to stream sporting events and graduations about two years ago and it took us about six events to get it right. Link to Our School YouTube Account for Live Streaming Hopefully that will give you enough time to fix any “surprises” that pop up. Very Important, test, test and test! I suggest testing a live stream, for more than an hour a couple of days before your event. Also, even if YouTube is not blocked, you need to get with your District’s IT department to open up the “pipeline” for you, or you may get cutoff during your event. If this is true in your district, you will have the world’s shortest webcast.
After we got that taken care of, no problems.Īnother possible gotcha, YouTube is blocked in many school districts. We had to get Warner Chappell to “white-list” us on YouTube so we could use the music we pay for. We do pay for a service, Warner Chappell Production Music, but unfortunately YouTube did not know this so our stream was cancelled… while we were live… before the biggest game of the year. The mute came from music played over the football stadium sound system during pre-game warmups, dang Black-Eyed Peas! Yes, both happened to us initially when we decided to buy 1000 youtube subscribers cheap. YouTube will either cancel your stream or mute your archived video. There are always gotcha’s! One big one is that you cannot play copyright protected music. There are a couple of “gotcha’s” however. YouTube offers 1280 HD streaming, archiving after the stream, embedding the stream on your own website, analytics, mobile device support, provisions for a backup stream, and the greatest feature of all… IT’S FREE! Live streaming on YouTube with a NewTek Tricaster can be a little tricky, but it is worth the trouble and can produce some great results.
