Run 24/7 live streams from your own videos
AutoStream sets up, runs and restarts your YouTube live streams for you. Your computer can stay off.

Three steps, 10–15 minutes to set up
Click “Connect with Google” and approve access on Google's consent page — the service gets permission to manage live broadcasts on that channel. Prefer not to grant access? Add the channel with a stream key from YouTube Studio instead.
Upload files from your computer or by a public link (direct, Dropbox, Google Drive). Videos are stored on our servers and prepared for streaming. One video is enough — it will play on a loop.
Choose the streaming window and the playlist. The service creates the broadcast on your channel, applies the next title and thumbnail, streams from our servers around the clock and restarts after a failure.
The whole setup in the real dashboard: channel, videos, playlist, branding, schedule and going live.
Set it up once — it runs without you
Everything you would otherwise do by hand every day, the service does for you: start the stream, close a segment, open a new one, bring a dropped stream back up.
For example, from 07:00 to 23:00 in your time zone — or around the clock, with no breaks.
A broadcast ends after the number of hours you set and a new one opens right away — a new entry point in search.
Run up to ten parallel live streams on one channel.
Upload thumbnails, titles and descriptions once. For every new segment the service takes the next item from the queue and applies it.
What we don't cap
“24/7” means different things in this space. Here is what it means with us.
A stream runs until you stop it. No 8-hour, 40-hour or 30-day limits with manual re-creation.
Playlists of any length. The longer the playlist, the fewer repeats per day — which matters when YouTube reviews your channel's content.
Streams are not billed by the hour. One 24/7 stream is 720 hours a month, and they are not charged separately.
Segments close and open on schedule by themselves — no need to re-create the stream by hand.
What we do limit is the number of simultaneous streams and storage space. It is spelled out in the pricing.
Your stream keeps running while you sleep
A 24/7 live stream is not a replacement for content — it is a way to get more out of what you have already made.
Every broadcast is a separate page on YouTube, with its own title and thumbnail.
The stream is built for viewers looking for background content rather than a specific video, who keep it on for a long time.
Videos you have already made play on a loop — no new material is required.
The stream runs at night and on weekends with your computer off, and recovers by itself after a failure.
Where 24/7 streams work best
Formats where viewers want background content rather than a specific video: music, nature sounds, ASMR, retro radio.
Pay for the number of streams and video storage
Every feature is available on every plan. The only difference is how many streams run at the same time and how much video fits.

4K and 60 fps, with terms tailored to your channel. The plan is not available yet: once it is ready, a way to get in touch will appear here.
Storage is counted by stream-ready files: after upload we convert the video to the streaming format and delete the original — the stream doesn't need it, and it would take about five times more space. That is why changing quality requires uploading the file again.
The first 3 days are free on any plan, no card required. The service does not guarantee channel monetization or any level of revenue.
Common questions
A stream keeps the channel active without shooting anything new: it puts what you have already made to work. It stays available around the clock and is built for viewers looking for background content rather than a specific video. What comes of it depends on your niche and material — nobody can guarantee growth.
Through Google OAuth: you click “Connect with Google”, choose the channel and approve access on Google's consent page. With that access the service creates live broadcasts on your channel, sets their title, description, thumbnail, category and privacy, starts and ends them, and reads viewer statistics for your dashboard. It does not upload, change or delete the regular videos on your channel. You can revoke access at any time — in the dashboard or in your Google Account. Alternatively, add the channel with a stream key: then the service only sends the video stream, and you manage the broadcast yourself in YouTube Studio.
No. You upload video files from your own computer through the dashboard, or by a public link (direct, Dropbox, Google Drive). The files are stored on our servers and streamed from there. Google access is not used to upload videos: the service does not take videos from your channel.
We stream through YouTube's standard RTMP ingest — the same way any streaming software does. But YouTube sets the platform rules and changes them without us, so we cannot promise there will be no restrictions. The channel owner is responsible for what is streamed: the rules on repetitive and reused content apply, and if the stream contains someone else's video or music, that risk lies with the content. We do not guarantee monetization.
Technically these are different objects on the channel: a live broadcast and an uploaded video. But how the platform treats repeated material is up to the platform, and the rules change. We do not recommend building a stream from content you have already published, and we do not take responsibility for that choice: originality of the material remains your job.
No. Everything runs in the cloud: videos are streamed from our servers. Your computer can be off, and you can be on vacation.
Usually 10–15 minutes including the video upload. Uploading files takes the longest; the rest is a few switches.
You can start with a single video — it will play on a loop. The more material you have, the more varied the stream and the fewer repeats a regular viewer sees.
The service monitors the broadcast on four levels: the encoding process, stream health as reported by YouTube, the broadcast status and server availability. On failure the stream is restarted automatically, and the event is written to the log.
Yes — 3 days on the START plan: one stream and 5 GB for videos, no card required. If it doesn't suit you, simply don't pay: trial videos are deleted 2 days after the trial ends, your settings stay.
OBS is free, but a 24/7 stream needs your computer and home internet running non-stop. If the stream drops at night, restarting it is on you, and titles and thumbnails are changed by hand. AutoStream streams from a server, restarts the stream after a failure and rotates titles and thumbnails on a schedule.
In the dashboard, under Billing, request an invoice: plan, term (1, 3, 6 or 12 months with a discount) and payment method. There are no automatic charges: if you don't pay the next invoice, the subscription ends at the end of the paid period. The first payment for a plan can be fully refunded within 14 days.
Yes. Request an invoice for another plan under Billing. Once it is paid, the new plan's limits apply.
