YouTube has joined Twitter’s Periscope and Facebook, with the feature of live streaming from a mobile phone.
To begin with, this feature, which has been built directly into the YouTube mobile app, is being activated for everyone with more than 10,000 subscribers.
All that needs to be done is open the app, tap the capture button, and you are live.
Streamed videos have all the features of regular YouTube videos; and can be searched for, and found via recommendations or playlists.
