Telestream lays everything out in 5 simple steps.
Step 1: Find the Output Settings in Wirecast
“Generally, you’ll fill in a variety of fields on the Output Settings screens that ask for pertinent information, such as the title of your project (which is different from the title of your event), your YouTube channel and account, and privacy settings; namely, whether this event is private or intended for the public. If this is your first YouTube stream, put in your YouTube account login and password and give Google (YouTube’s owner/operator) account permissions. Also, put in the title of the event along with a brief description.”
