YouTube is preparing to launch a live streaming platform, beginning with a two-day trial period that kicks off on 13 September.
The two-day testing period started at 8:00am Pacific Time on Sept 13, said Joshua Siegel, product manager, and Christopher Hamilton, product marketing manager at YouTube in a 12 September blog post.
YouTube will launch the limited trial of its new streaming platform in conjunction with four of its partners: Howcast, Next New Networks, Rocketboom and Young Hollywood.
This move means that YouTube content partners can stream video directly to end users in real-time, and it puts the YouTube service into competition with entrenched players such as Ustream, Livestream and Justin.tv.
