Talking about the newly introduced ultra low-latency feature first, the company says in its Creators Blog that it makes it possible to stream videos with just a couple seconds of latency. This means that the s will be able to answer fan questions and get input from viewers faster than before. The company says that the new feature is easy to set up and doesn't require any special software or encoders to work.

The new moderation tools added to YouTube Live allow s to pause the chat feed by simply pressing and holding the "alt/option" button on their keyboard. s can then hover over messages to remove or approve the chat messages with a single click. Also, s can delegate a for their live chat to flag or hide messages. Separately, s can choose to hold potentially inappropriate messages, which will be identified by the company's own system, to approve, hide, or report later. There is also an option to block certain words or phrases, if the chooses to do so.

Coming to the app streaming bit, with Apple's ReplayKit, s will now be able to stream live from more apps as the company has brought the functionality to the main YouTube app. While s could already live stream from apps through YouTube Gaming earlier, as the feature has been added to the main YouTube app, any app that s ReplayKit can now be streamed live by iOS s.

"You'll also be able to use your phone's microphone and front-facing camera to add your own video and audio commentary to the stream," the company said in its blog post.
