PERMALIVEPlan a 247 channel before you point anything at RTMP.
Practical guides for creators turning a YouTube archive into an always-on live channel: platform rules, cost planning, content curation, launch setup, and stream stability.
Can I stream this legally?
Start with content you own, audit music rights, label the channel honestly, and recheck each destination's current rules before launch.
What will it cost?
Plan for encoding, outbound bandwidth, monitoring, recovery, destinations, and the time saved by managed operations.
What should I put on it?
Curate by viewer intent: tutorials, archive reruns, event blocks, long-form comfort content, and evergreen videos that still make sense out of context.
Should it be a separate channel?
Most creator-led 247 feeds work better as a dedicated account linked from the main channel, not as a replacement for normal go-live moments.
