![]() Why bother going live on YouTube? With minimal effort, broadcasting your content on YouTube can result in a huge payoff. ✅ What are the benefits of live streaming on YouTube? You can find live broadcasts about any number of topics and in a variety of formats, including live concerts, webinars, live vlogs, cooking classes, comedy sketches, interviews, news coverage and more. Unlike Twitch and gaming, YouTube doesn’t specialize in a particular niche. Live streaming first rolled out on YouTube in 2011 to select partners and today, it’s available for free to all verified YouTube channels. See this question.YouTube Live is the live streaming arm of YouTube it’s where you can watch live videos instead of previously recorded ones. If you only need a solution for one or a few computers, you could use a browser extension to remove the X-Frame-Options header from YouTube's response. You could reverse proxy the … URL, forwarding YouTube's response but with the X-Frame-Options header removed. This solution can also provide features that YouTube live chat does not provide, such as allowing anonymous visitors to post. You could embed your own chat, either installed on your own server or a cloud-hosted livestream chat solution. ![]() ![]() So far, I found this one (able to display but not create chat messages). There are probably open source libraries around to help with this. You could use the YouTube Livestream API, in particular the LiveChatMessages endpoint, to get and create chat messages. This Reddit thread tells how somebody's embedded live chat suddenly stopped working in early September 2018 – so shortly before this question got asked. This tutorial from 2016 uses the documented URL format to embed an example live chat near the bottom, and it now shows the same "Refused to display in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin'." Assuming that this worked in 2016, something must have changed on YouTube's side. I believe that's the new part of the documentation, and the section "Embed live chat" further down is outdated. The Live chat module only exists on the YouTube watch pages - it does not follow embedded players. (On YouTube itself, this embed code still works: when you inspect the source code of any currently streaming live video on YouTube, you will find that the live chat window there is made with that same /live_chat?… request, in an iframe.)Īdditional indications that this feature has been removed: This means that YouTube does not want a browser to embed this into an iframe except when embedded on itself. You can also see that x-frame-options: SAMEORIGIN header in the "Network" tab of the browser's developer tools when looking at the response to the … request. Refused to display '' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin'. However, when trying that and looking into the browser's console, you will see a message like this: The YouTube knowledge base still says that embedding a live chat iframe into an external website is still possible, using a URL like the one you posted ( see here, in section "Embed Live chat"). Or alternatively, there could be an unfixed bug that broke this feature.Ģ021 update: chat embedding works again. ![]() It seems to me that YouTube disabled the feature to embed a live chat on external websites, but then forgot to update the documentation.
