<p>You don't necessarily need a <em>camcorder</em> with the built-in ability to stream to YouTube, but rather, a camcorder (or any camera, really) that you can use as an <strong>input device</strong> to a computer. If you can use a camera as an input device (think of it like a super-high quality webcam of sorts), then you can live stream to YouTube, UStream, Twitch, etc., using a free software like <a href="https://obsproject.com/" rel="nofollow">OBS</a> from your computer.</p>

<p>I could see it being unrealistic to include streaming capabilities inside a camera itself because this would require the camera to be able to connect to the internet, use a live stream key, connect to YouTube, etc. It's much simpler to just use a camera as an input device to a computer and let the computer handle the tough networking issues.</p>

What purpose is this for? Have you considered maybe just using a smartphone?

<p>I've googled for the last couple hours and couldn't find any real answers. In short, are there any camcorders that allow you to live stream your video straight to <strong>YouTube</strong>. All the camcorders with live streaming capabilities that I've found only seem to mention UStream, but this isn't good enough unfortunately. </p>

<p><strong>Edit</strong></p>

<p>I'd preferably like to do this on the go as A lot of camcorders nowawadays have Wi-Fi capabilities. </p>

<p>This must be possible as like I mentioned, you can do so to UStream. Also, GoPros can do it, but these aren't good enough for me because they lack a flip screen and are too small to hold </p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-08-16)

I've googled for the last couple hours and couldn't find any real answers. In short, are there any camcorders that allow you to live stream your video straight to **YouTube**. All the camcorders with live streaming capabilities that I've found only seem to mention UStream, but this isn't good enough unfortunately.

**Edit**

I'd preferably like to do this on the go as A lot of camcorders nowawadays have Wi-Fi capabilities.

This must be possible as like I mentioned, you can do so to UStream. Also, GoPros can do it, but these aren't good enough for me because they lack a flip screen and are too small to hold

You don't necessarily need a *camcorder* with the built-in ability to stream to YouTube, but rather, a camcorder (or any camera, really) that you can use as an **input device** to a computer. If you can use a camera as an input device (think of it like a super-high quality webcam of sorts), then you can live stream to YouTube, UStream, Twitch, etc., using a free software like [OBS](https://obsproject.com/) from your computer.

I could see it being unrealistic to include streaming capabilities inside a camera itself because this would require the camera to be able to connect to the internet, use a live stream key, connect to YouTube, etc. It's much simpler to just use a camera as an input device to a computer and let the computer handle the tough networking issues.
