Creating a YouTube Channel

You should be all set! Once completed, you should see Your Channel. If you don't, try refreshing your browser!
Livestreaming with YouTube:
When livestreaming with YouTube, there is no minimum follower restriction. However, there is a 24 hour waiting period before you can enable livestreaming capabilities. If you need to stream a game right away, check out streaming with the sidelineHD app while you wait your 24 hour period!
Enable Livestreaming in YouTube
- Visit YouTube on a laptop or desktop internet browser
- Sign into YouTube
- Select the Create icon in the top right corner of YouTube
- Select Go Live

Linking your YouTube Channel

I Have Waited 24 Hours, But My Channel Isn't Linking!
If these steps do not work, please ensure your 24 hours have passed. Be certain that you are selecting the Google Account that you created your Channel with as well. If you waited and still can’t get your channel linked, it may be best to try linking multiple times. After multiple attempts, if you still cannot get your channel linked, please contact support@sidelinehd.com
