ytLive

A creator-proof live-streaming and recording app for YouTube — native Windows (C# / WPF / .NET 8).

Design Principle

This software is so intuitive that even the most right-brained person can easily intuit and use it.

Every feature is measured against this. One-click go-live, sane YouTube defaults, visual scene building, and no dead ends — every action has a visible outcome.

Why ytLive

OBS treats YouTube as an afterthought; SLOBS is Twitch-first with YouTube bolted on. ytLive is designed and dedicated to YouTube livestreaming and recording, and to YouTube's specific quirks.
