Vertical Live Streaming Tips

Vertical live streaming is becoming more important on YouTube. I encourage you to experiment with this fun feature for a golden opportunity to increase your visibility on the platform. Here are a few tips to help get you started.


Tips for Live Streaming on YouTube from your phone.

- Improve your audio with an external mic like the Samson Q2U. The built-in microphone on your phone is probably not going to be good enough for live streaming. If you want to improve your audio quality, invest in an external microphone.

- Get the proper adapter for your phone. If you're using an iPhone, you'll need a Lightning or USB-C adapter. This will allow you to connect your external mic to your phone.

- Use a second device to monitor your stream! This is one of the most important tips, especially if you're new to live streaming. It's easy to get caught up in the moment and forget to check your stream's quality. By using a second device to monitor your stream, you can make sure that everything is running smoothly and that your audience is having a good experience.

- Good lighting is essential for any video, but it's especially important for live streams. Make sure that you're in a well-lit area and that your face is evenly lit. Avoid harsh shadows and backlighting.

- Watch YouTube on TV with Chromecast. If you want to watch your live streams on a bigger screen, you can use a Google Chromecast 4K dongle.

- Frame yourself properly. When you're framing yourself for a vertical live stream, make sure that your head and shoulders are visible. You should also leave some headroom at the top of the frame. Avoid framing yourself too tightly, as this can make you look cramped and uncomfortable.
