A co-streaming tool called "Go Live Together" will soon be available to some creators on YouTube.

YouTube said on its Creator Insider channel and in a blog post that it is getting ready to launch a new feature that would let some creators invite a guest to go live alongside them. Creators won't be able to co-stream on YouTube's desktop version at first; they will only be able to do it using a phone. Only a small number of producers will have access to the new service at first, but YouTube aims to make co-streaming available to more creators in the future.

The Livestream can be scheduled on a computer by the creator, who can then start it on their phone. They can also quickly go live from their mobile device. You can switch around the guests you have on your livestream, but you can only have one person there at once. After inviting a visitor, your stream feed will appear above that of the invitee.

Some authors will be able to choose the new "Go Live Together" button on their profiles in the coming weeks. The first step for creators is to add the information for their stream, which includes the title, description, monetization options, thumbnails, and visibility options. Creators can choose a visitor to invite to their livestream after choosing the "Invite a co-streamer" option. The visitor will be directed to a waiting area once they click the invitation. The host can click "Go Live" when both parties are.

The host will be the only one to benefit financially from adverts on YouTube's guest streams. Although the broadcast won't show up on the visitor's channel, YouTube claims to be aware of the value of visibility on guest channels, suggesting that the feature may eventually be made available.

The debut of the new function coincides with the recent launches of co-streaming services on TikTok and Twitch. The "Multi-Guest" function, which TikTok launched a few weeks ago, enables hosts to go live with up to five other users utilising a grid or panel arrangement. The new Guest feature, which streamers can easily use to invite other creators and fans into their streams for a talk show-like experience, was officially launched by Twitch last week. Anyone can simultaneously stream up to five speakers thanks to Guest Star.

Twitch and TikTok both let you go live with multiple people, unlike YouTube's co-streaming option. It's feasible that YouTube will increase the cap to enable producers to go live with several individuals given that co-streaming is still in its early stages.
