On YouTube, live streams are the same as videos and need thumbnails, titles, descriptions, and all the metadata that goes into a regular video. On Twitch, you just select the game you’re playing and set a stream title. YouTube works a bit differently than Twitch when it comes to streaming.

You’ll have to set up your stream info separately for every live stream.

If your key does manage to get out, you can reset it from the YouTube dashboard. This stream key must be kept secret, as anyone with it can live stream on your channel.
