Integration between Rocket.Chat and YouTube Live |
{% hint style="danger" %} The Livestream & Broadcasting integration has been deprecated, may not work as expected, and will not receive updates. {% endhint %}
The integration between Rocket.Chat and YouTube Live allows channel owners to broadcast their live camera feed to Livestream inside a channel.
To access the broadcasting settings,
- Navigate to Administration > Workspace > Settings > Livestream & Broadcasting.
{% hint style="info" %} This feature is currently in beta! Kindly report any bugs here. {% endhint %}
The integration between Rocket and YouTube Live allows channel owners to broadcast their live camera feed to Livestream inside a channel. You can only use the Broadcasting feature with the Livestream feature.
Users can not create live broadcasts using their webcams if you switch the Broadcasting Enable to false in your broadcast settings, but they can still link to a live stream from YouTube.
To use YouTube Live integration, the workspace administrator needs a Google Account to access the Google API Console. With this, the administrator has access to a valid Client ID, API Key, and Secret, which is essential for broadcasting.
{% hint style="info" %} To learn more about Youtube live integration, please read YouTube Data API Overview. {% endhint %}
After a correct set-up, the Livestream tab allows you to Broadcast your camera when editing the source URL. While we prepare the broadcast and live stream for your session, opening the popout can take a little while. A blinking icon and "Preparing" status displays in the control bar. After that initial phase, the broadcast will be ready and available to start with your click.
