YouTube is preparing to launch a new feature that will allow select creators to invite a guest to go live with them, according to a blog post by the platform.
“Eligible creators can invite a guest to live stream with them. Using a mobile phone to go live, your live stream feed will show up above your guest’s,” stated Youtube.
You can schedule a live stream with a guest from your computer (via Live Control Room) and then broadcast it from your mobile phone. The company said you can also go live right away from your mobile phone.
In addition, YouTube stated, “You can rotate guests on your live stream, though you can only have one guest appear on your live stream at a time.”
