Stream a ZOOM meeting on Youtube

First, you'll need to make sure your YouTube channel is authorized to upload.  You will also need at least a Pro (aka Licensed) Zoom account to stream.  Only the meeting host can stream.  Co-hosts cannot.


You will need to make sure that your YouTube channel is activated for live streaming.  When you click on ENABLE it will let you know it will take 24 hours.



Make sure in your ZOOM settings in your account you are set to be able to stream

Once you are enable, start a meeting

You should now have an option MORE and you can select Live on YouTube


A web browser will pop asking you to sign into your account.  

You will be presented with an option to Set a meeting name
Select "Go Live!"


Your stream will connect....

Your meeting will start and you'll be automatically pushed the meeting

You are live on YouTube with Zoom.  Visitors to your channel will see the "LIVE" link show on your channel page.

Once you are done, you can end the stream, your stream will be available in your channel



It may take a period of time for your video to show up in the live video archive, depending on the length of your video.



You can also edit your video.  If the "editor" button is not available on the left side menu, give it some more time.  YouTube live videos can be edited, but it needs to go through a processing system to show up.

Once its up, you can trim your videos after your broadcast, it won't affect your video stats either.
