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. 

What to consider when choosing an online voice recorder

The most important thing to consider when looking for an online voice recorder is quality. With the right audio recorder, you don’t need to compromise resolution because you’re recording online. Find online software with local recording that can record your voice in high resolution without worrying about internet issues getting in the way. The better your recording quality, the less editing but for quick fixes look for software that already comes with some easy editing tools.

You’ll want tools for automatic noise suppression, echo cancellation, and easy audio clip creation. The ability to download separate participant tracks is also helpful in giving you more editing control. Don’t forget to check out recording files’ formats. While MP3 audio is better when it comes to storage space, WAV files are crisper and better for fine-tune editing. Other than that, automatic transcription will save you plenty of labor time and a voice recorder mobile app will give you the freedom to record on-the-go.

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.
