After Twitch and TikTok introduced comparable services, YouTube unveiled a tool to let streamers invite their friends to join their live streams. YouTube’s version of that streaming capability, Go Live Together, is rolling out throughout the website over the next several weeks. The first thing creators should do is submit the information for their feed, including the title, description, monetization options, thumbnails, and visibility options.
Creators can choose a visitor to add to their live broadcast after selecting the “Invite a Co-Streamer” chance. The invitee will be sent to a waiting area after they click the invitation. With both parties, the hosts can “Go Live.”
Now, let's see:
- How to co-stream using OBS?
OBS, often known as Open Broadcaster Software, is a Mac and Windows-compatible free and open-source program for offline video recording and live broadcasting.

Ads are allowed
Co-hosted streams on YouTube are permitted to show adverts, but viewers will not get any of the money. The tandem broadcast won’t appear on the guest’s channel, and the advertisements will go to the host instead. A YouTube representative acknowledged in the Creator Insider video that visibility on guest channels is “extremely crucial to creators,” thus that benefit could soon be available on Go Live Together.
Saving and Uploading Co-Streamed Content
It is not allowed to save previous broadcasts, highlights, or uploads of co-streamed content. For additional information, please see the section on Unauthorized Content Sharing and Other Copyright Violations in the Twitch Community Guidelines.
Clipping
While allowing broadcasters to advertise and expand their channels through social sharing, Clips enables a Twitch user to capture and share enjoyable, engaging instantly, and distinctively Twitch moments from live broadcasts and VODs. All Twitch channels, except for a limited selection of chosen ones, allow clipping. Users can consult the channel page for media that have clipping turned off. Users only hover or tap on the video player, then click or tap the clip button to create a Clip.
Once the clip has been created, altered, and uploaded, it is shared.
