YouTube gaming - new feature

This looks really interesting and could go either way from small gaming youtubers..

So each game will have its own file system..eg.."Destiny" "Call Of Duty" "Minecraft"
I would probably guess that they will have sub section under each such as (in no particular order)
#1. Live Right Now
#2. Trending
#3. Popular
#4. Recently Uploaded

Now for small Youtubers #1 and #4 would be your key areas.
Lets look at #1. Live Right Now
Huge emphasis on live content so try dabble into that as soon as possible when it becomes available!
Maybe you go to record a video but check Youtube and see no one is popular is streaming that title at that time..NOW is your chance to get noticed!

Lets look at #4. Recently Uploaded
This will place a huge emphasis on 2 key things.
-Thumbnails
(Professional/Eyecatching/Inviting/Funny)
-Titles
(What game it is probably wont need to be in the title anymore as it is sorted by the game in the file system. So attention grabbing titles will be a must!)

Pure speculation but highly probable!
Hope it at least made for an interesting read!
 
Very intriguing. I was wondering about this, because "YouTube Gaming" had a pretty big presence at E3 this year (alongside Rooster Teeth). I'm excited to see where this goes!
 
YouTube's automated copyright enforcer, Content ID, is always a hot button issue for YouTube's creators. On YouTube Gaming, the system will be active, in real time, on livestreams. If copyrighted content is detected during a live stream, the dashboard will show a warning, and streamers will have a set time period to stop the music. If users ignore the warning, the stream will be blocked until the system detects the copyrighted content has stopped.

Damn, that's a huge deal breaker. Who would want to stream games without music? You can make good videos with royalty free music but not 5 hour streams in my opinion.

I've just read that the platform will automatically convert the live stream into a YouTube video. That is going to be a huge feature IMO. RIP Twitch.

YouTube actually already does this if you run a Live Event. Mine bugged and only rendered like half of it, but.... C'est la vie--the feature is there! XD[DOUBLEPOST=1435072296,1435072172][/DOUBLEPOST]

Might I recommend the NoCopyrightSound playlists on Spotify? I'm thinking you could follow their requisites for linking by providing a link to the playlist in the description and showing a "now playing" layer like most streams do already.

You sure that's what it says?

"If copyrighted content is detected during a live stream, the dashboard will show a warning, and streamers will have a set time period to stop the music. If users ignore the warning, the stream will be blocked until the system detects the copyrighted content has stopped."

My reading of this is that you get a popup during a particular song that is claimed and you have X amount of time to make the claim go away. Click next on your music player and the situation is resolved. Well, assuming the next song doesn't have the same issue.

My only issue with it is that it doesn't take into account those who buy broadcasting licenses. At the level of viewership I'd get for livestreaming, it'd only cost a bit over $100 to license all popular music for streaming from SOCAN.
 
The more I use the YouTube Live Events, the more anxious I get for this to actually drop. Does anyone have an ETA for YouTube Gaming?! I'm pumped man, love it!
 
I am a big fan of twitch and youtube so this has me torn really. I think Twitch def is doing things right but if youtube doesn't launch with better streaming then their current youtube streaming format I think they will fall short and stumble out of the gate. I haven't seem much on it but I wonder what will happen to channels on vanilla youtube who are gaming channels... would your stuff transfer? That is some stuff that interests me. Or do you have to start from scratch? Anyone really know these things yet?

I'm sorry, I'm not really sure what you're asking. Specifically, details are scarce. I agree with you that Twitch does things right--I really like that you can enable outside apps to allow greater interaction and customization (bots and alert systems). The thing that bugs me about Twitch, though, is that it's hard to get started (depending on the game you're trying to establish yourself with).

I prefer Call of Duty, so obviously, with the 6.99 billion (I'm exaggerating) other people playing, it's hard to get noticed when Twitch goes strictly off of current viewers.

YouTube Live Events already exist, but can be a little daunting to set up at first. I imagine they'll make it a lot more streamlined with YTGaming. Already, though, there is no separation between my streams and my actual channel. Viewers can subscribe right there and access all of my information, and the streams are converted to video and added to my Uploads as soon as it processes.

As a smaller channel/stream, I find YouTube's SEO to be MUCH more lucrative than Twitch, and the streams flow seamlessly, automatically, with the commentary videos I already have. It's a toss-up for me, really..
