YouTube Live Now Supports Ultra-Low Latency, More

YouTube launched a series of updates for its livestreaming service

YouTube launched a series of updates for its livestreaming service, YouTube Live, aimed at making streaming “easier and more accessible.”

YouTube Live now offers an ultra-low-latency option, which will reduce the delay between when a streamer takes an action and when the viewer sees it.

In a blog post, YouTube Live product lead Kurt Wilms said that by enabling this feature, it will be possible for users “to stream video with just a couple seconds of latency, so you’ll be able to answer fan questions and get viewer input during your ‘Let’s Plays’ faster than ever before.”

Next, YouTube Live now offers more chat moderation features, including inline moderation, which allows users to hold the alt/option key on their keyboard to pause the chat feed so they can easily approve or remove messages.
