Youtube dropping Old streaming experience?

I've Got It
accidentally miss clicking live events i seen a message saying "Old live platform going away November 1!"

Does this mean YT is going Google hangout only for streaming?
even with how painful it is to stream on yt i was thinking of going back to it pretty soon because twitch drops frames like a MFer. If it's going to hang out only idk how that'd work other than making it work more like twitch with a live tab.
 
Oh no =( That sucks. I actually liked the old platform. I liked using xsplit on it and interacting with my subscribers. I'd much rather have that than the Google hangouts. Hopefully they are releasing something better!
 
If you click to "learn more" you get this info:

This is to let you know that we will be turning off the old platform November 1.

Everyone is now using the new live platform as the default for live events. If you have ever used the old version of the platform, you may still see the option to "Opt out" to the old platform when creating live events. Be advised that we will be turning off the old platform completely November 1.

Please start using the new platform as soon as possible. Once the old platform becomes unavailable, you will not be able to start events that were created on the old platform. Any events that are already running on the old platform will be stopped automatically after a short time.

So they aren't switching to Google Plus Hangouts. They switched the platforms already and if you haven't yet, you'll be switched to the new platform - that's all.
