How to add a YouTube output in TVU Channel

To output your channel to YouTube:

  1. To add an output destination, click the Go Live button.
  2. Click +Add to list possible output options, from social media to professional broadcast formats.
  3. Choose the YouTube option.
  4. Enter an Output Name, such as “My Channel output via YouTube.”

  6. Click the Authenticate button to open a new browser tab and log in to YouTube with your account credentials. This allows TVU Channel to post content directly to YouTube.
  1. Select a Resolution from the drop-down menu. A higher resolution improves quality but increases network traffic.

  3. Enter a descriptive Video Title for your channel content on YouTube.
  4. Enter a Video Description for your channel content.
  5. Click the Save button to finish creating this new YouTube output destination.
  1. Move the slider to the right when your YouTube media displays in the output pop-up window to activate your new YouTube output destination.
  2. To change the settings on this output, click on the three-dot icon (…) and click Settings. Change the settings as needed and Save your changes.
  3. To deactivate this output destination, click the slider to the left. It will turn gray to indicate it is deactivated.
