What to consider when choosing YouTube live streaming software
YouTube live streaming doesn’t have to come with technical difficulties if you’ve got the right software. Make sure your live streaming software easily connects to YouTube. A lot of online encoders only require a quick YouTube stream link and your setup should be good to go. If you’d like to push your YouTube live stream on other social media channels at the same time, look for software that offers multistreaming. This lets you stream in one place but broadcast to various channels at once.
Another way to grow your YouTube live stream reach is with short repurposed clips. This is why we suggest you use software that records your stream in HD resolution, and even better if you use software with local recording. Local recording ensures everything is captured directly on your device so no internet issues in interfere with your recording’s quality. Other tools you should consider include tools for audience engagement, live effects, and tools for customization.

There is also the option to use a hardware encoder to stream with multiple YouTube microphones or cameras.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
