Is it possible to stream video from Android app to Youtube in live mode (to live channel on Youtube)?
I would like to do that but by streaming a previously-saved file from the Android device (not streaming video from the device’s camera).
I’m looking for the simplest solution to do that (without a need for any intermediate servers, etc.), specifically for the purpose of streaming from Android (but the question is more about Youtube API).
If it is possible, where should I start with?
No. Unless you are an offical YouTube partner on their magic happy list. They know who they are, and it doesn’t sound like you are one of them. Sorry.
From an announcement on their blog:
Remember that Youtube Live is only a year old. The state of things very well may change in the short to medium term future.
In the mean time, have a look at services that may meet your needs, like justin.tv or ustream.com
