YouTube requires you to enable your channel for live streaming, which can tak approximately 24 hours to complete.
Here are the steps to enable your YouTube channel for live streaming:
- Go to YouTube
- Log into your channel
- Click the profile icon in the top right and select YouTube Studio
- On the left menu go to Other features > Status and features
- You’ll see a series of boxes that represent different features
- Under ‘Live Streaming’ click ‘Enable’
- You should receive a message saying it will take YouTube 24 hours to enable live streaming
You can use the same process (steps 1-4) to check if this feature has been enabled
