YouTube has been offering live streaming since 2011, before it was cool. Millions of people around the world tuned in to watch the Royal Wedding in 2011. One-sixth of the Internet watched Felix Baumgartner leap from space live on YouTube in 2012.
And just this year, Youtube became the first to ever broadcast a 360-degree live stream during Coachella. Over 21 million people tuned in to watch Coachella on YouTube this year—almost twice as many as tuned in to watch the season finale of American Idol.
Today, Youtube announced a new chapter in bringing the power of live video to creators everywhere. Soon, they’ll be putting the power of YouTube live streaming in the palm of your hands.
