README.md

ytLlive

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

Screenshot

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 ytLlive

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

Account Assumption

ytLlive assumes you already have a YouTube creator account — connecting uses "Sign in with Google" to link that existing account. ytLlive does not create accounts. If you don't have a YouTube channel yet, set one up on YouTube first, then connect it here.

Run

dotnet build   # Windows only — WPF
dotnet run

Version Roadmap

Version	Scope
