How to Run Multiple Parallel Live Streams on a Single YouTube Channel

Many creators assume YouTube limits a channel to a single stream at a time. In reality, YouTube Studio allows creating unlimited parallel scheduled broadcasts, each with its own independent Stream Key.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Navigate to YouTube Studio > Go Live.
2. Click on the Manage tab on the left navigation bar (do not use the default Stream tab).
3. Click Schedule Stream in the top right.
4. Create your broadcast title, description, and thumbnail.
5. Under Stream Settings, select Create New Stream Key or choose a dedicated key.
6. Repeat this for each stream instance.
