Follow these instructions to stream your webcam video to Youtube

Things you need to get started:

1) Ensure that you have a Youtube account that you can publish a live stream to: https://www.youtube.com/howyoutubeworks/product-features/live/#youtube-live

2) Download the OBS Studio software (its free and open source) on to a computer that will be available 24x7 to run your live stream.  Note: This computer does not need to be on the same network as your webcam.  It can live anywhere as long as it has a good internet connection. https://obsproject.com/download

3) Request your HLS URL from Brownrice.  Email support@brownrice.com and ask us for your HLS URL for your webcam.  We'll email you back with something that looks like this: https://streamer6.brownrice.com/mywebcamname/mywebcamname.stream/main_playlist.m3u8

Once you have have your Youtube Live account ready, OBS installed on your computer, and your camera's HLS URL from Brownrice then you can follow these instructions to publish to Youtube.

1) Open OBS Studo and follow the Auto Configuration Wizard.  You can also reach the Auto Configuration Wizard in OBS Studo by clicking Tools -> Auto Configuration Wizard.  Select "Optimize for streaming, recording is secondary" then Next.

2) Select the default settings for both Base (Canvas) Resolution and FPS then click Next

3) Select Service: YouTube - RTMPS and then click Connect Account (recommended) and follow the YouTube instructions to link OBS Studio to your YouTube account (you'll need your YouTube login information for this).  Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

4) Once your YouTube account has been selected allow OBS to test your connection to YouTube.  This takes about a minute.

5) Click the + button under Sources to add a Source.  We'll be linking your webcams HLS URL that we sent you previously in these steps.

6) Select Media Source then Create New then give it any name you like such as "My webcam."

7) Uncheck "Local File" and then enter your HLS URL in the Input field.  Leave all other settings as they are, then click OK

8) We're almost there!  Now click the Start Streaming button at the bottom of the main OBS screen, a pop will ask you to Manage Broadcast.  Click the Manage Broadcast button then name the stream and set all setting to whatever you like, then click Create broadcast and start streaming

That's it!  Check your YouTube page and you should now be live streaming to Youtube.
