Add a YouTube Output

Updated

This tutorial will allow you to automate your live streaming workflow with YouTube by adding a dedicated output to your account. Once this output is created, and this output is connected to an event scheduled in your calendar, Sardius will automatically connect your event to YouTube, start it, and stop it according to your event’s start and end time.

Create your automated YouTube output

1. Access the Outputs section of the Sardius Control Panel by locating “Outputs” on the sidebar.
