Build your stream once. Streamstead handles what happens next. Upload your content, connect YouTube and let dedicated cloud infrastructure keep it running.
Traditional 24/7 YouTube streaming usually means leaving a computer running, keeping OBS open and hoping the connection stays healthy. Streamstead moves that workload into infrastructure built specifically for long-running livestreams.
Upload the videos you want to stream. Large files use resumable uploads, so an interrupted connection does not have to mean starting again.
Your uploads are prepared as streaming-ready masters in the cloud and stored in your reusable video library.
Run a single video continuously, build an ordered video playlist, or switch between content already in your library.
Playlists can repeat continuously for always-on streaming, or play through once and stop after the final video.
Use the audio already inside your video, or build a separate music library and assign a reusable music playlist to the stream.
Music playlists support ordered or shuffled playback, repeat, crossfade and audio normalisation.
Connect the YouTube livestream you want Streamstead to power. There is no OBS scene to build and no local encoder to leave running.
Your stream is sent directly from Streamstead's cloud infrastructure to YouTube.
Choose a start time, timezone and optional duration. Streamstead handles the stream schedule in the cloud.
For scheduled YouTube events, enable automatic start and automatic stop in YouTube Live Control Room so the broadcast itself follows the incoming feed.
Once the stream is running, Streamstead keeps the infrastructure working in the background.
Automatic recovery, stream monitoring and cloud-based operation mean your own computer can be switched off.
Streamstead is built around the way long-form YouTube creators actually work. Upload media once, reuse it across streams and change what is playing without rebuilding the infrastructure underneath it.
Streamstead is purpose-built for YouTube livestreaming. Your stream key connects the two services, while your titles, thumbnails, chat, monetisation and audience remain in YouTube Studio.
If you schedule a broadcast, YouTube's automatic start and stop controls can be enabled so the public livestream follows the Streamstead schedule without needing you to press Go Live manually.
