This article will walk you through how to manage your content in YouTube including privacy settings, viewing controls, missing videos and copyright issues.
Streaming to YouTube is a great option for a livestreamer of any sport but it's important to learn how to manage your content in YouTube. Continue below to learn more about:
YouTube Privacy Settings:
By default, all sidelineHD/YouTube broadcasts are public meaning they are searchable on YouTube and your YouTube channel's subscribers will receive notifications from YouTube.
You can change your privacy settings at any time in the sidelineHD app for all future streams or in YouTube Studio for any previous streams.
Change Privacy Settings (In YouTube Studio)
- On a desktop browser, login to YouTube Studio
- Select Content from the left side
- Select Live from the top menu
Next to the broadcast of your choosing, select the visibility icon in the visibility column

Set the privacy level you'd like
-

SidelineHD Link Management / YouTube Viewing Controls:
Changing your YouTube privacy settings to unlisted is a great option to restrict post-game viewing. They are not searchable and are not shown on your channel's page. SidelineHD only allows logged in members of your team community (Player Managers, Coaches and Team Managers) to click through to the broadcast. You can do so, select "Make unlisted after broadcast finishes" while streaming. Once the stream concludes, the broadcast will be set to unlisted.
If someone is not a logged in Player Manager, Coach or Team Manager, they will be prevented from clicking-through to the broadcast.
If the video has been deleted or is marked as private, this message will show:
My Broadcast is Missing:
Don't see your broadcast on YouTube? Broadcasts can go missing for a few reasons.
- It takes 1-5 minutes for a new broadcast to appear to channel visitors or on YouTube search.
- When a livestream concludes, YouTube converts the broadcast to a VOD (video on demand). This process can take minutes to hours. During this time, the video won't be visible on your channel. The video will first become available in low-resolution (144p), then at full resolution (720p).
- Your video may be blocked for copyright reasons. Learn more about Copyright Issues When Publishing to YouTube
Copyright Issues When Publishing To YouTube:
Copyright Related Issues
YouTube has automated systems to detect copyrighted audio and video. Music being played in the background of livestreams can lead to YouTube taking a number of actions:
Audio may be muted
The livestream may be blocked in some (or all) geographic regions
The livestream may be deleted
The post of broadcast may be shadow banned (channel admins can see the video while others cannot)
The VOD (Video on Demand) may be blocked
These copyright issues can lead to YouTube removing videos
When YouTube takes action against a video that contains copyrighted audio, you typically will be notified by form of email or a notification in your channel's admin page. However, although in some cases, content is blocked without explanation.
When a video is taken down, you are able to make an appeal to YouTube and dispute the claim.
Checking for Copyright Issues
On a desktop browser, login to YouTube Studio
Select Content from the left side
Select Live from the top menu
In the Restrictions column, you will see Copyright for any videos that have a copyright issue. Hover your mouse over Copyright
-
Select See Details
You can typically request that the copyright audio be muted.
Avoiding Audio Copyright Issues
Here are some tips to avoid issues with copyright claims.
- Do NOT aim your camera at a TV or stream from a room while the TV or radio are on.
- If possible, mute your microphone when there is music
- Lower the microphone input for your stream.
- Position camera away from loudspeakers or use a directional microphone.
- Have a play-by-play announcer fill the audio space of the stream.
Can I edit the video to remove the copyright issue?
Yes, videos can be edited. The section(s) that are causing the video to be blocked can be removed, and/or replaced with approved music. Alternatively, the music can be removed, but keep all other audio, or the section of the video can be cut out.
In YouTube Studio, you will hover over copyright claims, see details, and you will see your options. Sometimes videos are blocked in some countries like Belarus or Russia, which have no impact on your video, so you could just leave it alone. If you edit audio in the video, you will need to edit for each copyright claim.
