So I've read the KB and watched videos but still have a question about vMix streaming to YouTube Live Now.

It seems like I need to do the "Create" in YT Studio every time I need a new livestream.

If I don't do the "create" each time, and reuse a streaming key (i.e. stop vMix stream, then start it again), I see the stream in YT Studio but it doesn't show up on the channel's page.

In other words, do you all do a new "Create" in YT Studio every Sunday when you livestream a service (or whatever you livestream).

Thanks.

Using the same key for over a year now so no, you don't need a new key.

If you use the default stream key, you will see the live stream on your channel's page. (and in an embedded viewer and with /live behind your channel's url)

When you want to use 2 streams at the same time on one YouTube channel you have to use a new stream key for the second stream.

(in that case an embedded viewer and your channel's url/live will show the stream with the default stream key)
