PERMALIVEPlan the channel before you point anything at RTMP.
Practical guides for turning your YouTube archive into an always-on live channel: platform rules, cost planning, content curation, launch setup, health checks, 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, then use playlist sources, exclusions, categories, and readiness checks so the public queue matches the promise.
Should it be a separate channel?
Most streamer-led 247 feeds work better as a dedicated account linked from the main channel, not as a replacement for normal go-live moments.
How do I keep it stable?
Use the dashboard health view for runtime state, active alerts, queue readiness, agent heartbeats, and destination status before viewers notice problems.
Can someone help run it?
Invite trusted helpers through the team page instead of sharing stream keys or broad channel credentials.
