The YouTube platform inform users about a number of innovations in live streaming, which will be introduced in the near future. In particular, we are talking about updated options for viewing streams, the launch of a convenient system of notifications about them in the form of Live Rings around the channel icon, the option to redirect viewers to other streams, as well as the option to invite guests to live events. The ability to answer questions from viewers will be expanded, as well as the option of a full screen mode.

Joining other participants as guests to the stream will be as simple as possible thanks to a new tool announced by YouTube, which is called Go Live Together. After the introduction of the new option, inviting a guest to a live stream will become as simple as possible, it is enough just to send a link to the events to the particular user or users. At the same time, information about the guests will remain hidden for the audience, it will be available only to the host.

Thanks to innovations, YouTube plans to expand the options for users to monetize their videos and attract even more content creators to such activity.
