8-Bit Eric (8BE) Experience the Future: Testing YouTube's New Vertical Livestream Feature! Join me as I test out YouTube's latest feature - vertical livestreaming! Now, as you scroll through the Shorts feed, you'll see previews of live broadcasts in progress. With just a tap on "Watch Live," you can join the action instantly.

While creators have been able to livestream vertically for some time, YouTube is enhancing discovery by showcasing live broadcasts within the Shorts feed. This approach mirrors TikTok's successful strategy of integrating live streams among short video clips.

TikTok has been emphasizing live streaming, following its success in the Chinese version of the app. By seamlessly blending live streams with short videos, TikTok has increased engagement, which could bode well for YouTube's implementation.

In other news, YouTube has introduced a feature for podcasters to upload their RSS feeds directly in YouTube Studio. This integration generates a static image for each episode, expanding your podcast's reach and offering new ways for audiences to follow and listen via the app.

These improvements align with YouTube's efforts to enhance its podcast offerings, particularly with the growing use of YouTube as an audio platform through YouTube Music. Last year, YouTube introduced podcast playlists and analytics to enhance creators' audio strategies.

For podcasters with an established YouTube presence, this update provides a valuable opportunity to expand your reach and engage with new audiences through the YouTube app.
