The best YouTube streaming tutorial. I'm just waiting for YouTube to activate my live option, then I'll be good to go.
Subbed, and thank you.

1 year late to the party but I am very interested in this feature with the S5ii X and hope you do a video of that when it’s available. I chip time running races and use a G85/GX85 video combo to capture the finish line in the rare case of missed chip reads. I’m thinking of adding a S5ii X for a finish line livestream since I already have a Wi-Fi cellular hotspot spitting out live race results. Picking up a GH5ii would do this, but I’d appreciate the full-frame Panasonic when I’m not timing. I’ve invested enough in MFT and have been using it for appropriate jobs and travel since 2013. It’s great and I will continue to use it for the finish line, but want to get full frame Lumix for other photographic/video pursuits. Cheers!

Nice video, how do you use same camera for a zoom meeting using the Bluetooth

[Pachiscruz]

Thanks a lot!!! Few persons are giving this detailed information. What I would love to know is how to make use the new upgrade where you can stream via Lan connection and use more than one camera to stream via OBS

[NathanRichzots]

Great tutorial! Also I could mount YoloBox to my camera for either the monitor mode or livestreaming with easy graphics!

Great content 👍🏻 I’m waiting on my MK 2 to arrive, I stream on twitch and also vlog (no self promo) and drive HVG and would like to stream from my truck, Is there an option to use the internet connection from your phone so that you can stream anywhere

[AnitaGoaWellBeing]

Thank you again! This was a great tutorial on live streaming (I found it).

I don’t live-stream to YouTube, I might but I mostly use zoom. I wonder if I can use the camera for zoom? If so how and would I record from the camera or from zoom? And how to include the wireless rode mic? Would it be attached to computer or camera?

Sorry, my head is spinning from all these questions. I’m hoping you know the answers 🙏

[RedFlyerMedia]

Awesome help! Thanks. I will definitely be using this a lot!

[stevehoge]

Bummed that this feature hasn't appeared (yet? 🙏) in the G9M2!

[franciscosunworld]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial that I need so badly😊😊😊!!!.

I was able to figure this out on the Panasonic S5iiX, but I cannot stream using my iPhone 15 Pro and the S5iiX using tethered USB. I can't even find my phone's WiFi hotspot connection with the S5iiX. I've tried with my iPhone 15 Pro and my Samsung S23. I keep following the instructions, but it's a round about problem. Everytime I connect a USB, I lose Bluetooth and the app won't work unless I use connect via Bluetooth to start the stream. I read the manual too, but can't get USB tethering or phone hotspot to work. :/

I appreciate your tutorial though. Much better than the one Panasonic made for the S5iiX.

Awesome tutorial. I am having problems streaming through my IPhone. Will you ever do a video showing you how to use your Iphone/Smartphone to stream?

[ArtofServer]

Thanks for this video! Really appreciate it! Can you do this video with the latest firmware update and streaming over wire instead of wireless? I haven't seen anyone explain that yet.

Hi, when I do YouTube live stream will record same time in SD card ?snd How abut resolution in SD card will be same live YouTube resolution? Thanks

[dgSolidarity]

I want to broadcast live events BUT every single venue I already do event videography at uses captive portals, when after connecting to WiFi you must enter user/password, or at the very least you click “I accept” in a browser. I’m afraid Panasonic’s livestreaming in all cameras, I have even considered a >$5000 pro camcorder, has been done in such a way that makes it 100% incomparable with 99% of use cases in any of the many locations I have had clients send me. Am I (hopefully) mistaken about this?

[artistjoh]

Does this also work outdoors through the phone or iPad on its mobile internet connection? Are there any differences in setup? This video covered indoor usage via your home WiFi, but I was surprised there was no information on how to do things away from the home internet connection.

[nicknico]

How to connect the camera to the phone though? Imagine I want to stream on YouTube and project what I see through my camera in real time, away from home. Thanks!

[rilsstudio]

can it stream using usb cable to phone using ur method ? or better trough wifi ? thankyouu

[marangozkahraman]

Wifi streaming is 1080/60, how much is the quality when streaming using the camera as a webcam over the computer?

[TechMixr]

Love your content (been watching from a different account for a while, I bought the Feidu mic because of your deep test) - do you plan on doing a deep-dive on the latest GH5 MK2 firmware update?
