24/7 YouTube live streaming from your videos.
Upload your videos, connect your YouTube channel and StreamMesh streams them live from our servers, looped around the clock or played once. No OBS, no stream key to copy, no computer left on.
Free plan, no card needed. Sign in with Google or email.
In short: StreamMesh turns uploaded videos into a YouTube live stream that runs in the cloud. Connect your channel and every go-live gets its own broadcast with your title, description and privacy setting, or paste a stream key instead. A playlist of up to 20 videos loops until you stop it, and a stream that drops restarts by itself.
How to go live on YouTube with a pre-recorded video
- 01
Upload your videos
Add the videos you want on air, in any format. They're stored as they are, so even large files finish uploading fast.
- 02
Connect your channel
Sign in with Google once and choose the channel. Set the broadcast's title, description, privacy and made-for-kids setting. Prefer a stream key? Paste the one from YouTube Studio instead.
- 03
Build a playlist
Put up to 20 videos in the order you want, then choose to loop them until you stop, or play them through once.
- 04
Go live
Press Go Live. StreamMesh creates the broadcast and sends your playlist to YouTube from the cloud, and YouTube starts the live as soon as video arrives. Stop it any time; the broadcast is ended for you.
Built for channels that never sign off.
Connect, no stream key
Link your channel once. Each go-live gets a fresh broadcast with the settings you chose, so there's no key to copy or leak.
Live around the clock
YouTube allows continuous live streams. Loop your playlist and your channel stays live 24/7, for every time zone.
Change videos without going offline
Add, remove or reorder videos on a running stream. The broadcast isn't restarted; the new playlist takes over when the current video ends.
Self-healing
If the connection to YouTube drops, the stream restarts by itself and carries on from the video it was playing, and the broadcast stays open meanwhile.
YouTube-ready video
Files that already match YouTube's live format go out as they are. Anything else is converted once, at up to 1440p, and reused every time after.
YouTube and Instagram together
Send the same stream to YouTube and Instagram at once. Each one starts and stops by itself.

YouTube live streaming, answered.
Can I stream a pre-recorded video live on YouTube?
Yes. Upload the video to StreamMesh, choose your YouTube channel and press Go Live. It plays as a real YouTube live broadcast, streamed from our servers, so you don't need OBS or a computer left running.
How do I run a 24/7 live stream on YouTube?
Upload your videos, connect your channel, put the videos in a playlist set to loop, and go live. The playlist repeats until you stop it, and if the stream drops it restarts by itself.
Do I need a YouTube stream key?
No. Connect your YouTube channel and StreamMesh creates the live broadcast for you each time you go live, using the title, description and privacy setting you chose. If you'd rather not connect your channel, a stream key works too.
Do I need OBS or to keep my computer on?
No. The stream runs on our servers from the moment you press Go Live. You can close your laptop.
What video format does YouTube Live need?
H.264 video and AAC audio with a key frame at least every 4 seconds. Any file uploads; if yours doesn't match, it's converted the first time it goes live on YouTube, at up to 1440p, and that copy is reused after.
What happens if the stream drops?
It restarts automatically, waiting a little longer between attempts if something keeps failing, and picks up from the video it was playing. The YouTube broadcast is kept open while it reconnects.
Is connecting my YouTube channel safe?
We keep only an encrypted access credential and use it only to create and end your own broadcasts. You can withdraw it any time from StreamMesh or your Google account.
Can I make money from a 24/7 YouTube stream?
That's up to YouTube. Its monetization and repetitious-content policies apply to looped streams, so make sure your videos are original and follow its guidelines.
Can I stream to YouTube and Instagram at the same time?
Yes. Add both destinations to one stream. Each platform a stream is live on counts as one of your plan's concurrent streams, and each can be stopped by itself.
How much does StreamMesh cost?
There's a free plan with one stream, no card needed. Premium costs ₹999 per stream per month, or ₹9,990 per stream per year (about 17% less, two months free). From 4 streams, every stream costs ₹799 a month or ₹7,990 a year. Full pricing
