How to live on YouTube and Instagram at the same time?

Although both social media are technology giants, it is not possible to live on YouTube and Instagram at the same time without the help of external applications.

In that case, two software are needed that can help you. The first one is OBS Studio, which can be downloaded free of charge through the link. It facilitates the configuration of live broadcasts from the computer.

The second oCiclano.io. While OBS Studio is excellent for configuring broadcasts, Ciclano makes it possible to live on YouTube and Instagram at the same time. Just register using email or your Facebook profile.

It is worth mentioning that simultaneous lives can only be performed from your computer. Check also on AppTuts how to live on Facebook and Instagram at the same time and how to live on YouTube and Facebook at the same time.

You need to name your source. If you only use one camera to record videos and transmit lives, just name itwebcam to facilitate your identification.

If you have more than one, you can use the structurewebcam + (cameraname)to know which camera to use to live YouTube and Instagram at the same time.

You must also set the recording resolution. For transmissions from your camera, we recommend that you use a minimum of 1280 × 720 pixels. The image quality will be very poor if you choose any resolution below that.

If you usually save games, however, it can be interesting to raise the quality as much as possible. The resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels is usually the most used by streamers who display their games on theTwitch, for example.
