YouTube Live will stream video from your webcam or desktop, letting you host webinars, broadcast vlogs, and more in real time. In this article, you'll discover how to broadcast video using YouTube Live. #1: Access Your YouTube Live Dashboard To broadcast live video on YouTube, you must first find your YouTube Live dashboard. Mar 31, 2016  In this tutorial (XD my first ever) I will show you how to save / download your completed YouTube livestream. How to Live Stream with a Video Camera or DSLR (Live Streaming Setup Tour).

YouTube has created its own “sub-site” called YouTube Gaming. This site is similar to Twitch in that it caters directly to gamers and their fans, and allows gamers to record their gaming and broadcast it live to fans and other gamers. If you're a gamer or a gaming fan, you may find broadcasts that you wish to record and download to your computer to playback at a later time. The problem is that YouTube does not currently provide any method to download or record their livestreams.

Luckily the professional developers of the 4K Video Downloader have stepped up and implemented this feature into the latest version of the 4K Video Downloader. Here are the simple steps for you to download live streaming video directly from YouTube Gaming.

1. The first step is to find a live stream on YouTube. You can do this by going to the YouTube Gaming site. Here, you can search for specific games being livestreamed by using the search feature, or you can go to gaming.youtube.com/live to browse all the current livestreams on the gaming site.

2. Once you have chosen a livestream, copy the URL in the navigational bar at the top of the page.

3. Open the 4K Video Downloader.

4. At the top of the window, click on the 'Paste Link' option. The program will automatically begin parsing the link for download.

5. Once the parsing has completed, you will see a window with several options. You can choose the type of video you wish to download, the quality of the video you wish to download, and the download location. Once you have set your options, click the 'Download' button. Your livestream will start downloading to your specified folder.

6. When you wish to end the recording, press the 'Stop' button.

That's all there is to it! Now you can view the video whenever you wish. So what are you waiting for? Get started now!

I'll be using this Live Event as an example:

First, list the formats for the video:

Pick the format you wish to download, and fetch the HLS m3u8 URL of the video from the manifest. I'll be using 95 mp4 720p HLS , h264, aac @256k for this example:

Now that you have the HLS playlist, you can open this URL in VLC and save it using 'Record', or write a small ffmpeg command:

There is no need to pass anything to ffmpeg you can just grab the desired format, in this example, it was the '95' format.

So once you know that it is the 95, you just type:

that is to say:

Download Youtube Live Streaming App

It will begin generating on the working directory a <somename>.<probably mp4>.part which is the partially downloaded file, let it go and just press <Ctrl-C> to stop the capture.

The file will still be named <something>.part, rename it to <whatever>.mp4 and there it is...

The ffmpeg code:

also worked for me, but sound and video got out of sync, using just youtube-dl seemed to yield a better result although it too uses ffmpeg.

The downside of this approach is that you cannot watch the video while downloading, well you can open yet another FF or Chrome, but it seems that mplayer cannot process the video output till youtube-dl/ffmpeg are running.
