Hey everyone! I have a question about YT Live and how it works! I've been live streaming on YT for a while now and I noticed that for some reason youtube live isn't changing my titles or thumbnails to the current stream! For example I'm a gaming channel, and earlier in the week I streamed Skyrim for a bit. Then later that week I went ahead and streamed GTA, however when I promote on twitter or on my channel the stream still says that I am streaming Skyrim and has a Skyrim screenshot or thumbnail!

I make changes before I go live on both my Elgato and on the YT Live. Youtube also automatically saves these changes so I'm not sure why my streams seem to pop up wrong! I'm gonna try scheduling my streams ahead of time to see if that fixes the problem but if you know what I can do to fix it, I'd be forever in your debt!! :biggrin:

If you schedule your stream and upload a thumbnail, those should show. Othwise you might be getting info from an older archived stream.
