Broadcasting was performed by means of Google Hangouts. As a result, we received the YouTube video containing the broadcast.

Then, the button turns to Create live event, and you can start your broadcast.Ĭlick Go live now to go directly to broadcasting. To enable broadcasting, click the Enable live streaming button and pass two-steps verification. The YouTube broadcast studio is located at this page.
