Part 1: Create a YouTube Stream

2. Start creating a stream:
- In the left menu, find and click "Create" (icon with a camera and a "+" sign). - Select "Live Broadcast". This will open a panel for setting up your stream.
3. Assign stream parameters:
- Go to the stream editing menu. - Stream Title: Enter a title for your stream. It should be something interesting that people want to watch.
- Stream Description: Add a description that tells you what your stream is about.
Privacy settings: Choose who can see the stream. - "Open access", "Access by link" or "Private". As with the video - the same options. While preparing the stream, it is better for it to be private. After you set everything up, you can make it public. Viewers will see the stream only after you click the Go Live button, more on that later.
- an attractive stream cover. Just like with videos, upload covers that will attract viewers' attention.
- add tags, similar to how you do it with videos. After all, the stream will also participate in the search!
