YouTube adds live stream broadcasting to iOS app


YouTube mobile live streaming will be baked right into the core YouTube mobile app. You won't need to open anything else, just hit the big red capture button right there in the corner, take or select a photo to use as a thumbnail, and you can broadcast live to your fans and chat in near real time

Facebook and Twitter's Periscope have similar functionality. YouTube has been doing live streaming for about 5 years, but that required a desktop broadcaster. Now users can stream from a mobile device.
