YouTube Live Events vs. Hangouts on Air - which to use

This show will compare and contrast YouTube Live Events and HOA (Hangouts on Air). We'll talk about who might want to use which one and why it matters.

That was an awesome video - I've been wanting to get a more detailed explanation of the differences between YouTube Live and HOA - and now I know!

*YouTube Live Events vs. HOA (Hangouts on Air) - which to use?*

Watch the replay here of the latest info on HOA vs. YouTube Live. Both places do broadcasting of your video. Both places end up with a video on YouTube. *_Why choose one over the other?_* Watch below to see what we have come up with... just shy of 1 hour long.

BTW, since I love the hybrid of the two, we figured out a way to *Make Private Video Recordings of Hangouts using YouTube*... details on the step-by-step process are part of this HOA starting at around 40:44 in the video (click that timestamp link)

The full post with more info on that awesome trick is here: 


Sometimes people also like to see the link to the HOA video in the post so that is included here: YouTube Live Events vs. Hangouts on Air - which to use

*Do you think you'll use HOA or YouTube Live Events?*
_Will you use both?_
*_What are the factors causing you to choose one over the other?_*


Thanks to all that participated live and in the comments, before, during and after the show! #YouAreAwesome

Great overview of the two platforms. Thanks

[ProBaseballinsider]

Thanks for the video! Question - Can you share your screen using both hangouts on air and YT Live?

[ProBaseballinsider]

Also, can you do more than one moderator (or talking head) in Youtube live?

Talk about some fantastic Information embedded into this 1hr of broadcast... BUT WOW, great Job Lots of Nuggets, and Ronnie Bincer I understand the love you have for HOA but this can be a leveraging point for Small to Large Business... 

*Example*, would be a Hangout that was Recently done with Eric Enge and his team.. They Used a Normal HOA setup but then added a Group in a Different State where they Gathered people together just as we would for a Lunch and Learn however they had the normal presenter but they where on HOA on the Big Screen with everyone else.. Now this New FUNCTION Google YouTube has added now allows us to do that, and allow better cameras around the ROOM during the event to capture as much engagement as possible. It's Going to Get More Advanced Soon, as these types of tools come out for US geeks that try to take it to the NEXT level just BECAUSE We Can... LOL..

Again, Thx to Everyone who participated.

How many people can you add on your hangouts?

I have hosted and been a guest in HOA and done live streaming events and I'm stuck problems with a couple of features.  Setting up a YT live streaming event, I can select a "live chat" area which shows up to the right of the video to viewers on their computer screens but this does not show up on the YT if I set up the event as a HOA - am I missing something or is it not available if it's set up as a HOA?  My other question involves having guests in a HOA - I can't seem to do this if I'm live streaming directly through YT.  Is this the case or am I missing something here too?  Thanks Ronnie for your great channel.

very informative. Technology democratizes Broadcast enables citizen communication and citizen journalism.

Nice video Ronnie. I am not able to see the participant strip when I start the hangout on air. Can you help?  

[MarkGarrettBusinessCoach]

this is a great description and how to position HOA.  thank you.

What I would like to do now is to do my HOA, then record it and serve it up as a paid offering.  How can I do this

[norriswilliamsofficial]

so what I gather is to start with HOA, build your audience, then covert over to YT Live as you become more sophisticated??

[UnMeroDiscipuloDeJesus]

With promoting a link for youtube live (which I understood also gives you the option of using hangouts on air as the method for streaming), you can use the following link> to point people to. That way when the broadcast is streaming (regardless of whether the specific url for the event has changed) it will still show up on that live page. Am I right in thinking that way?

[yourfastlife]

You can share your HOA link right away as well.
