Manage Broadcast

[Lalusch]

Please add a feature that it will create a broadcast. In OBS you can have a default Broadcast template setup it just need to create the broadcast before start streaming

That would be wonderful and helpful for a lot of people
Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestion!

Unfortunately, I think this would involve quite a lot of work as I don't think there is any OBS API for creating a YouTube broadcast.
Interacting with the YouTube API directly is also not trivial.

I will add it to the todo list but I am not sure when I will get around to it.

I use OBS and Advanced Scene Switcher to live stream to YouTube a remote camera at our community softball field for about 12 hours a day. I use the Advanced Scene Switcher plugin to start and stop the stream each morning and evening at specified times. I do this so I have individual YouTube videos for each day.

Before the daily "start time" I have to go into OBS to "Create a Broadcast" otherwise the "Start Stream" in the morning fails with the error that I have to "Create a Broadcast".

Adding a create broadcast feature would be huge for me. TIA
