YouTube rolls out YouTube Live

By Hayley Tsukayama

YouTube announced Friday that it will be featuring live events on a new browse page that will feature the best live events streaming live on the video site. Users can subscribe to live-streaming channels and be notified of future streaming events. You can even add future streams to your Google calendar.

Live events also feature a live commenting feature, so viewers can discuss streaming content as it happens.

In a blog post, YouTube also said it will start rolling out a beta program for live streaming which would let “accounts in good standing” stream live content to the site.
