What is Live Stream Youtube?
Live Stream YouTube refers to the ability to broadcast live video and audio content to a global audience through the YouTube platform in real-time. It allows users to create and stream live events, such as concerts, interviews, webinars, and gaming, directly to their audience. YouTube Live also allows viewers to interact with the content creator and other viewers through live chat, comments, and likes. The platform provides a simple and effective way for content creators, businesses, and individuals to reach a global audience and connect with their followers in real-time.
How To Live Stream Youtube On An Xbox One?
Although the Xbox One has been discontinued, it remains a highly popular console in gaming circles. This is largely due to its extensive catalog of console games and the current shortage of Xbox Series X and S. Additionally, it is capable of seamless streaming on YouTube. Unlike the PS4, however, the Xbox One lacks a built-in option for streaming directly to YouTube. Instead, the console's broadcast feature only permits streaming to Twitch and, previously, Mixer. It appears that Microsoft chose to support these two services directly as Twitch is the most prominent game streaming platform, and Microsoft owns Mixer. Therefore, they likely hoped that Xbox gamers would use Mixer over YouTube. Unfortunately, Mixer never gained much traction as a streaming app. The only means of streaming to YouTube from an Xbox One is either via a PC and a capture card connected to the console or by using the Xbox Console Companion app.

Xbox Wiki
Microsoft owns and created the Xbox brand, which is a video gaming brand comprising five video game consoles, games, streaming services, an online service called Xbox network, and Xbox Game Studios, the development arm. The brand was first launched in the United States in November 2001, when Microsoft released the original Xbox console. The original device was the first video game console offered by an American company after the Atari Jaguar halted sales in 1996, and it sold over 24 million units by May 2006. Microsoft's second console, the Xbox 360, was released in 2005 and sold 86 million units as of October 2021. The Xbox One, the third console, was released in November 2013 and has sold 51 million units. The Xbox Series X and Series S, the fourth line of Xbox consoles, were released in November 2020. The head of Xbox is Phil Spencer, who took over from former head Marc Whitten in late March 2014.
