After two years of trial period, Google finally launched its YouTube Live Beta service. The form of this service comes as Google consistency to world live broadcasts, as well as experimenting with live comments aimed at the broadcast provider directly.
As stated by Joshua Siegel, YouTube Product Manager Live. In testing prior to launch, YouTube Live has showcased some live music concerts such as U2's concert at the Rose Bowl, Pasadena, match the Indian Premier League cricket, and a statement of U.S. President Barack Obama.
"From today, we have launched the forerunner of the YouTube Live that will integrate the direct broadcast capabilities with discovery tools directly in the Youtube platform," said Siegel.
Realization of this project can not be discharged from a direct challenge to serve the music and sports events that is doing increasingly on the internet outside of Google products. It seems also, Google is very interested as well want to challenge a similar site that was run by Livestream, UStream, and Justin.tv.
Previously, Google also has CitizenTube, a channel on YouTube dedicated to political discussion seems to have a regular run a live broadcast. In early pembabakan, only approved YouTube partners are allowed to use the YouTube Live platform this.
"Today, we will gradually roll the product live our beta, which allows a certain number of YouTube partners based on previous good record assessment in the live broadcast content on YouTube. The goal (at a later stage), provide direct broadcast services to thousands of partners in their respective channels in the coming months, "explained Siegel again.
