YouTube is the world's most popular video-sharing platform, with millions of videos uploaded daily, including a significant portion of live streams. However, YouTube has a 1,000-subscriber requirement for live streaming directly from the mobile app. Don't worry, though; there's a simple workaround! In this guide, we'll show you step-by-step how to go live on YouTube without reaching that subscriber milestone.
Kast Live is a free app that lets you start a YouTube live stream directly from your smartphone in just a few clicks, even if you haven't hit the 1,000-subscriber mark. Currently available on the Apple App Store, it's a game-changer for aspiring creators.
Download Kast Live: Get the app from the App Store (Android version coming soon).
Connect Your Google Account: Link your Google account to grant Kast Live access to your YouTube channel.
Create a Live Event: Tap "Create Stream" in the Kast Live app. Give your live stream a title and choose your privacy settings.
Manage Settings in YouTube Studio (Optional): For more customization, navigate to YouTube Studio and manage settings like thumbnails, categories, and chat options.

Kast Live is a free app that allows you to start a YouTube live stream from your smartphone with just a few clicks, even if you haven't reached the required 1,000 subscribers. It is currently available for free download on the Apple Store for iOS.
Once your Google account is connected, you can access your YouTube account directly through the Kast Live app. This allows you to create a YouTube live stream and easily share it with your friends and community without the usual restrictions. To share, use the share button before going live or directly during the live stream.
To create your first YouTube live stream without having 1,000 subscribers, simply click on "Create Stream" in the Kast Live app. Enter the title of your live video and configure the privacy settings (public, unlisted, or private) according to your needs, then confirm. All your created live events will appear directly in the app, ready to be streamed.
Although the Kast Live app allows you to create and start a live stream, you can also manage additional settings via YouTube Studio. To do this, go to YouTube Studio, click on "Create" in the top right corner, then select "Go Live."
Once in YouTube Studio, you can manage all additional live stream settings from the "Manage" tab on the right side of the screen.
This includes adding a thumbnail, categorization, adding to a playlist, live chat, managing comments (e.g., subscriber-only mode), enabling reactions, and more.
