Manuel Bronstein the head of youtube's product for consumers says:
“Broadly speaking, we think about YouTube being synonymous with video,”
His plans is to exaggerate youtube as the source of all kind of video. For instance, it shows us the latest taylor swift's update or the Dota e-sports championships. Youtube is making app for kids, gamers and many more is on the way. However, one of their big project is Live Stream.
Bronstein says:
"Live has always been a part of video and it's actually always a very exciting part."
He thinks, it could be a new term for the Youtubers who has now millions of fans. They can now communicate more intimately with their fans. Through live stream fans can ask them question express themselves.
Youtube has already built some infrastructure for the extra ordinary feature and they
are trying more and more to update and to make it flexible. It already has a live stream player
which can be accessible from anywhere of the world.
Even though live steam has some limitations. Such as a stream may buffer or stuck at some point. Hence, Youtube built a method that snaps your stream twice and swap them if one goes offline. They also improved the latency because when you say something live and viewers hear it after few seconds then the communication will become scratchy and tangled.
After testing the platform more than four years manuel declared "The infrastructure is solid. Now you do not have to miss the precious moment when someone is breaking an Olympic record."
So, it means we can start using this live stream feature and take social communication into new level.
