Set up your YouTube live link

Shori needs your team's YouTube live link so it knows what to embed on live game pages.

When to use this guide

Use this when you are setting up Shori for the first time or when your YouTube destination changes.

Steps

  1. 1Open Home in Shori.
  2. 2Find the YouTube setup card.
  3. 3Click Open YouTube to open YouTube Live Control Room.
  4. 4Copy the YouTube live link for your team's public live destination.
  5. 5Paste that link into the Shori YouTube live link field.
  6. 6Save the link.

Use this kind of link

  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...
  • https://youtube.com/live/...
  • https://youtu.be/...

Do not use

  • A YouTube Studio admin URL
  • A channel homepage URL
  • An RTMP server URL
  • A stream key

How Larix fits in

  • YouTube provides the live link Shori needs.
  • Larix is the tool used to actually run the stream.
  • Shori uses the saved YouTube link to show viewers where to watch.

Common mistakes

  • Pasting the wrong YouTube URL
  • Thinking Larix replaces the YouTube link
  • Forgetting to update the saved link when the destination changes
