Today we're making it easier to go live and interact with your community from your computer and phone. First, if you’ve ever tried to set up a live stream from your computer using an encoder, you know there can be a few steps involved. Today, we’re making the process as easy as a couple of clicks. Just head over to youtube.com/webcam or click on “Go live” in the YouTube header to start your stream. You don’t need any additional streaming software or extra set up. Creators who tested early versions have been using it for live beauty tutorials, fan updates and product reviews. This feature is available on Chrome today, and we’ll be expanding to more browsers soon.

For the rest of the article and announcement, read the full post on YouTube's blog.

Pretty nice. I do not live-stream but sometimes I thought that it would be nice
to be able to stream stock footage e.g. a boat coming out of a harbor
from a laptop just about from anywhere.
with (kind of) timestamp "streamed @date / time" with title / description.
It would be even better if it supported dslr through an app or api I don't know how they work...
and get in/out focus elements.
Anyway it is still a really useful tool combined with a decent webcam.

This is great, I don’t live stream but I was thinking about trying it out.

If I seriously try streaming, I need a second monitor to see the chat but my problem is I don't have the desk room for it.

Now if only they'd make it easier for subscribers to actually get notified of the streams..
