YT Live Streamer — Linux Edition

// the broadcast console

One app. Desktop and phone.

The full streaming console on Linux, with a companion Android app to start, stop and monitor from anywhere.

PREVIEW

YT Live Streamer desktop interface and Android remote app

Interface preview — some panels have since moved as the app evolved to v3.0.0.

// core capabilities

Everything a 24/7 channel needs, on one screen

Built for creators running music streams, ambient loops, replays and scheduled programming without babysitting a browser.

LIVE

Playlist streaming

Queue video files and stream them to YouTube in order, on loop, around the clock. Drag to reorder, trim in and out points, never re-encode.

SCHED

Weekly scheduler

Program different playlists for each day and time. The app fires the right stream automatically — set it once and walk away.

HLTH

Live health monitor

Real-time FPS, bitrate, dropped frames, CPU and RAM with live graphs, so you catch a stutter before your viewers do.

Built-in downloader

Pull source videos with yt-dlp straight into your library — queue, quality selector, history, all without leaving the app.

AI playlist builder

Type a topic and a target length. It searches, filters, downloads and assembles a ready-to-stream playlist for you.

Broadcast control

Create YouTube live broadcasts, fetch stream keys, go live, read live chat and track Super Chats — without YouTube Studio.

// see everything

A full analytics dashboard pulls views, watch time, top videos, traffic sources and geography straight from your channel — charted, no browser tab required.
