YouLive - Live Stream Broadcaster Plugin for WordPress 1.1.1.3

The YouLive – Live Stream Broadcaster Plugin for WordPress is a specialized premium plugin developed by CodeRevolution. Its core and most unique function is to use pre-recorded videos (from various sources) and broadcast them as a live stream to popular platforms, primarily YouTube Live.

It essentially turns your existing video content into a scheduled live event to boost engagement and traffic.

🎥 Key Features of YouLive

The plugin is designed to leverage the visibility that social media platforms give to live content:

Feature Category

Description

Pre-recorded to Live

The main feature: It takes a video embedded in your WordPress post (from sources like YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, Facebook, Dailymotion, or even local server videos) and streams it to your connected YouTube channel as a live broadcast.

Multi-Platform Potential

While its core function heavily relies on YouTube Live, the structure suggests potential or future compatibility for broadcasting to other platforms like Facebook Live or Twitch as well.

Scheduling & Automation

Allows you to schedule live events in advance directly from your WordPress site, helping to increase anticipation and viewer engagement.

Content Preservation

The broadcasted "live" videos are automatically saved to your YouTube video library, allowing them to continue generating views and content credit long after the broadcast ends.

Customization

Provides control over the generated live video's title and description to ensure they are optimized for platform search and click-through rates.

Detailed Logging

Includes detailed plugin activity logging, which helps you monitor the status and success of your broadcasts.

Continuous Streaming

Supports continuous live streaming by allowing you to concatenate (link together) multiple videos into a single, long live stream.

⚠️ Technical Requirement

A critical point for this specific plugin is a server requirement:

The plugin utilizes the FFmpeg library to create the stream. This software is generally required to be installed on your hosting server (often a VPS or dedicated server, as shared hosts often restrict it).

In summary, YouLive is an excellent tool for content creators and businesses who want to repurpose existing video content and gain the traffic boost and engagement benefits of live streaming without needing to be live themselves.
