How it works

Your videos, playing as one live stream.

24/7 live streaming is one continuous live stream that is always on. With LiveReacting you stream a video playlist, loop one video, or loop a video with an audio playlist. The next video starts the moment the last one ends, as on a TV channel, and the chat stays open the whole time.

Read the YouTube setup guide →
Videos play in order and the playlist loops

  1. Add your videos or music

    Upload the files from your computer, or import them from a Google Drive or Dropbox folder, or from your YouTube channel.

  2. Build the playlist

    Put the files in the order you want, shuffle them, or loop one video. For a music stream, add a visualizer that moves with the sound.

  3. Go live from our servers

    Connect your channel and click Go Live. Our servers take it from there: close the browser, switch the computer off, and the stream stays on air. See how this compares with OBS.

What 24/7 YouTube broadcasting changes for your channel.

Nothing new to film. The videos you already made keep your channel live, 24/7.

Your channel has a live video to watch and a chat to talk in at any hour. The stream gathers its own views and watch time, and earns ad revenue on a monetized channel.

Repurposing

Your old videos, live again and earning again.

A channel with hundreds of uploads has content that was watched once and then sank in the feed. In a 24/7 live stream the same videos are live again.

An uploaded file going out live, with the audience watching

  • Import your whole channel at once

    Paste a link to your YouTube channel or a playlist, pick the videos, and LiveReacting pulls them in. Nothing to download and re-upload.

  • Ad breaks in the videos you already made

    Place ad breaks (cuepoints) in the playlist with the Ad Slots Manager. Viewers who get no ad see a placeholder video of yours. To be eligible for ad revenue, your channel must be in the YouTube Partner Program.

  • Live again in front of your subscribers

    The stream sits in your channel's Live tab the whole time it runs, and subscribers see Live next to the channel name. The live chat is always open, so Super Chat, Super Stickers and gifts earn on a channel that is eligible for them.

Scheduling

Run the stream non-stop, or on a schedule.

Leave one continuous live stream on until you stop it. Or let Advanced Scheduling start and stop shorter streams for you at the times you set, such as two hours every evening for a month.

Read the scheduling guide → See scheduling and playlists →
One yoga class, every Saturday at 8am, with a rerun that evening

  • Daily, weekly or at any gap you choose

    Set the dates and times in one go, weeks ahead. Each run starts on its own, with nobody at the computer.

  • Each rerun starts over, or continues where the last one stopped

    Each run starts from the first file and scene. Or turn on Keep stream progress, and it starts from the file and scene the last run stopped on.

  • Several 24/7 streams from one account

    Each stream has its own playlist, schedule and destinations, and two or more can go to the same YouTube channel. How many run at once depends on your plan.

Destinations

Send the stream to several platforms at the same time.

Connect each platform with a login, or paste a stream key. The same stream goes out to all of them at the same time, and one chat holds the comments from every platform you logged in to.

See multistreaming →
One stream going out to several platforms at the same time

  • YouTube, Twitch, Kick and 30+ platforms

    Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn are on the list too. Connect each one by signing in to the platform or by pasting its stream key, and pick which ones a stream goes to.

  • Your own server, by RTMP

    Paste a stream key and the stream goes to any server or service that takes an RTMP feed, beside the platforms you connected.

  • HLS and SRT outputs on a custom plan

    Send the stream as HLS or SRT to your own player or CDN, with in-band SCTE-35 markers for server-side ad insertion. On YouTube, it supports the enterprise server-side ad insertion (SSAI) workflow. Enabled on request.

Live updates

Change the stream while it is on air.

Add new videos, take old ones out, change the music or the overlays. Make the change in the studio and click Sync with Live. The stream stays on air.

Read the Sync with Live guide →
Updating a stream that is already live

Cut to a live camera and back

Go live from your camera, or bring in a guest, in the middle of the 24/7 stream. Then return to the playlist without stopping it.

Live

Show the live chat on screen

A chat overlay puts viewers' comments into the video as they arrive, from every platform you connect with a login.

Add your branding, a poll or a quiz

Logos, text, countdowns, polls and trivia work inside a 24/7 stream the same as in any other. Viewers answer in the live chat.

What people running 24/7 live streams say.

“This software checks all the boxes of exactly what I need for my YouTube livestreaming.

The UI is fantastic and very easy to use. It seems other platforms all have one or a few features missing that ruin it, but LiveReacting has had everything I need.”

Jesse E.YouTube content creator

“I was amazed at how easy it was to set up a 24/7 stream.

The templates are a great starting point, and the dashboard is so intuitive. I had a professional-looking, continuous stream running in no time!”

Kirk NugentVideo/Content Coach

“A very satisfying experience, taking full advantage of the wide range of possibilities offered by the LiveReacting service for a whole year.

I paid for a 24/7 streaming yearly plan, which has allowed me to reuse videos I had recorded some time ago and broadcast them again without needing to have my computer on.”

GabrielYouTube channel owner

“The most amazing thing about this software is that you can update your stream on the fly. You can change branding, add pre-recorded videos and all from the cloud.

And then of course all the interactive tools like the countdowns, polls, trivia games are just so cool.”

Geoffrey E.Chief Content Officer at a marketing agency

“Perfect for what I needed it for, which was just streaming a basic, but large video to Facebook and YouTube.

It worked flawlessly and the setup was super easy. I didn’t need any of the many other features on offer but for a reliable high quality restream, it performed!”

LiveReacting vs OBS

Why run a 24/7 live stream on LiveReacting instead of OBS?

OBS is free and good for a stream you sit at. A 24/7 live stream runs for weeks with nobody at the computer, and that is the difference: with OBS your computer is the streaming server, with LiveReacting our servers are.

LiveReacting compared with OBS on a home computer, for a 24/7 live stream
LiveReacting OBS on your computer
Where the stream runs On our servers. On your computer, which stays on and online the whole time.
Setup In the browser: upload the files, build the playlist, connect the channel, click Go Live. Install OBS, set the encoder, bitrate and keyframe interval, add a media source and a loop.
Your internet drops Nothing changes for your viewers. The stream stops until the connection and OBS are back.
Your computer restarts or updates Nothing changes. The stream ends. You start it again by hand.
The server behind the stream fails The stream is started again on another server on its own. Your computer is the server. There is no other.
Changing the playlist while live Swap, reorder and click Sync with Live. The stream stays on air. By hand in OBS, on that computer.
Reruns on a schedule Advanced Scheduling: daily, weekly or at any gap, each rerun starting over or with the video the last one stopped in. A person, or scripts you write and keep running.
Several platforms at once One stream to YouTube, Twitch, Kick or any other platform, all at the same time. One destination. A plugin or a restreaming service for more.
YouTube ad breaks Placed in the playlist with the Ad Slots Manager. Inserted by hand in YouTube's Live Control Room while you watch.

Frequently asked questions.

What is a 24/7 live stream?

A live stream that does not end: a playlist of pre-recorded videos or music, broadcast as live, non-stop, for days, weeks or months. On YouTube it stays on your channel as a live video the whole time it runs, so viewers can find it and join at any hour, and the live chat stays open. With LiveReacting it plays from our servers, so no computer of yours is involved.

What is the difference between a 24/7 live stream and a pre-recorded live stream?

A pre-recorded live stream is one video, broadcast as live at a date and time you pick, and it ends when the video ends. A 24/7 live stream has no end: a playlist or a looping video plays until you stop it, so your channel has something live on it at every hour. Both play from our servers and both look live to your viewers, with the live chat open while the video runs.

How do I set up a 24/7 live stream on YouTube?

Sign up for a free account and create a new stream, from a 24/7 template or from scratch. Upload your videos or music, put them in a playlist, and connect your YouTube channel. Then click Go Live, or set a date and time for it to start.

Do I need OBS, a server or a computer left on?

No. The stream plays from our servers, so there is no OBS, no encoder and no computer or server of yours to keep running. You open LiveReacting in a browser to set the stream up and to change it. The rest of the time you can close it.

Can I reuse the videos already on my YouTube channel?

Yes, on any paid plan. Paste a link to your channel or to one of its playlists, and LiveReacting shows you the videos in it. Pick the ones you want and they are imported into your file manager, ready for a playlist. Nothing is downloaded to your computer and nothing is re-uploaded by hand. A Google Drive or Dropbox folder works the same way.

Does a 24/7 live stream reach more viewers?

That depends on your content, your channel and your audience, not on us, so we do not promise it. What a 24/7 live stream changes on the channel is this: the stream is listed in your channel's Live tab for as long as it runs, subscribers with notifications on are told when it starts and it shows in their feeds, viewers can join at any hour and talk in the live chat, and its watch time shows in your channel's analytics. Whether those hours count toward the Partner Program is the next answer.

Do the watch hours from a 24/7 live stream count toward the YouTube Partner Program?

Only when YouTube saves the stream as a video afterwards. YouTube's Partner Program page lists "livestreams that are unlisted, deleted, or not converted to VOD (video on demand)" among the watch hours that do not count toward its thresholds, and its live streaming page says "if your stream exceeds 12 hours, it may not be captured at all". So to earn the 4,000 hours, split the stream into public runs of under 12 hours each. Advanced Scheduling does that: set the times, and each run starts on its own, with the video the last one stopped in when Keep stream progress is on.

Can I loop one video, or stream music only?

Yes. Loop one video, or play a playlist in order or shuffled. For a radio-style stream with no video at all, an audio playlist plays your tracks over a still image or an animated background, with a visualizer that moves with the sound. The 24/7 music templates on this page are set up that way.

Which platforms can I stream to, and to how many at once?

YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Instagram and 30+ platforms in all, plus any other service that accepts an RTMP live feed, or an HLS or SRT feed on a custom plan, on request. The 24/7 plan streams to 5 of them at the same time, and the Enterprise plan to 20. The multistreaming page lists the platforms.

Can I run a 24/7 live stream on Facebook?

No. Facebook ends any live stream after 8 hours, whatever software sends it. Send a 24/7 stream to YouTube, Twitch, Kick or any other platform, and stream to Facebook for runs of up to 8 hours. The next answer lists every platform's limit.

How long can one live stream run on each platform?

That is set by the platform, not by LiveReacting. Checked on each platform's help pages in September 2026.

YouTube: no maximum published. A 24/7 stream runs until you stop it, but YouTube may not save a recording of a stream longer than 12 hours.
Twitch: 48 hours, then Twitch ends the stream.
X: 24 hours.
Vimeo: 12 hours, or no limit with its Extended Streaming add-on.
Facebook: 8 hours.
Instagram: 4 hours.
LinkedIn: 4 hours.
Kick and TikTok: no maximum published on their help pages.
Your own RTMP server: whatever you set.

Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn are not 24/7 destinations; use them for runs inside their limit. The multistreaming page lists every platform.

How long can a 24/7 live stream run?

On the 24/7 plan there is no limit. The stream runs until you stop it, and some customers have run one stream for years without an interruption. Other plans have a maximum length per stream, listed on the pricing page.

What happens if something goes wrong while the stream is running?

Your computer or your internet going down changes nothing, because the stream is not running there. If the server behind your stream stops answering, our system starts the stream again on another server on its own. If a platform drops the connection, LiveReacting reconnects. A corrupted file in the playlist is skipped, not played. Our uptime for the last 90 days is on our status page.

Can I change the playlist, or switch to my camera, while the stream is live?

Yes. Any change you make in the studio, a new video, a different order, new music or overlays, goes out to the running stream when you click Sync with Live. You can also cut to your camera or a guest for a live segment, and return to the playlist without stopping the stream.

Can I schedule reruns, and run several 24/7 streams at once?

Yes. Advanced Scheduling runs the same stream again daily, weekly or at any gap you choose, up to 50 runs within 30 days, and each rerun starts over or, with Keep stream progress on, starts with the video the last one stopped in. Several 24/7 streams can run from one account at the same time, each with its own playlist and schedule, and more than one can go to the same YouTube channel. You can buy up to 20 at checkout, and our team adds more on request, up to 1,000.

Can I run a 24/7 stream on each of my YouTube channels?

Yes. Buy the 24/7 plan with one stream for each channel, and give each stream its own playlist and schedule. Connect each channel with its own YouTube login, or connect a client's channel with an invite link, with no owner access needed. The price per stream goes down from two streams, and most from four; the pricing page has the figures. You can buy up to 20 streams at checkout. Above 20, it is a custom plan.

How do I make money from 24/7 live streaming?

On a channel in the YouTube Partner Program, the ad breaks you place in the playlist with the Ad Slots Manager earn ad revenue while the stream runs. YouTube can show an ad at each of them, and viewers who get none see a placeholder video of yours. Super Chat, Super Stickers and gifts in the live chat, channel memberships and sponsorships all work on a 24/7 stream as on any other live video. The guide on what a 24/7 stream can earn walks through the numbers, and our YouTube live stream money calculator gives an estimate for your channel.

Can I automate 24/7 live streams with an API?

Yes. The LiveReacting API creates a stream, imports the files, builds the playlist and its scenes, starts and stops the stream, and pushes changes to it while it runs. An AI agent can do the same through MCP. The guide shows a 24/7 stream built from the API end to end, and the API page has the reference.

What does a custom plan add for 24/7 live streaming?

Our team switches these on for your account, by request: HLS and SRT outputs, with in-band SCTE-35 markers for server-side ad insertion, and custom limits on streams, storage and file size, and the playback log of which file played when. YouTube monetization analytics come with every paid plan. Send a request from the pricing page.

What do I need on YouTube before I start?

A channel with live streaming enabled. The first time, YouTube can take up to 24 hours to turn it on (September 2026), and the channel must have no live streaming restrictions. Plus the rights to what you stream: your own videos and music, or content you are licensed to broadcast.

Is a 24/7 live stream allowed on YouTube?

Yes. YouTube publishes no maximum length for a live stream. A 24/7 stream has to meet the same rules as any live video: live streaming enabled on the channel, the rights to every video and track you stream, and content that follows YouTube's Community Guidelines and terms. One limit to know: YouTube may not save a stream longer than 12 hours, so do not count on the recording. Keep your files. To earn from the stream, YouTube's channel monetization policies also apply, and they exclude mass-produced or repetitive content, so stream a varied library.

Can I move a 24/7 stream I already run to LiveReacting?

Yes. Paste a link to your channel or a playlist to import the videos from it, build the playlist, and connect the same YouTube channel with a login, or create a new broadcast in YouTube Studio and paste its stream key. Start the LiveReacting stream, check it on your channel, then stop the old one; for a while both run. Your channel, its subscribers and its Live tab stay as they are. The stream itself starts as a new live video on the channel, with a new chat, as any restart does.

Can I test 24/7 live streaming for free?

Yes. The Free plan does not expire. It has the parts a 24/7 stream is made of: upload your files, build the playlist from a template or from scratch, add the overlays, connect one destination and go live for a short test, in 720p and with the LiveReacting watermark. A stream that runs non-stop, in 1080p and without the watermark, needs the 24/7 plan, which has no limit on length. Prices and limits are on the pricing page, and you can pause or cancel at any time on your profile page.

How do you create a 24/7 YouTube live stream?

  • To create a 24/7 YouTube live stream, upload pre-recorded videos or music to LiveReacting, connect your YouTube channel or an RTMP stream key, and let the broadcast run continuously from cloud servers. No OBS, and your computer can stay off. See the requirements to get started below.
    1. Create a free LiveReacting account and open a 24/7 template, or start a stream from scratch.
    2. Add your videos or music: upload the files, or, on a paid plan, paste a link to your YouTube channel, a playlist, or a Google Drive or Dropbox folder.
    3. Build the playlist: set the order, shuffle it or loop one file, and place ad breaks if your channel is in the YouTube Partner Program.
    4. Connect your YouTube channel with a login, or paste a stream key from YouTube, Twitch, Kick or your own RTMP server.
    5. Click Go Live, or set the dates and times it should run. Our servers keep the stream on air; your computer can be off.

What you need for a 24/7 YouTube live stream

  1. A YouTube channel with live streaming enabled Your channel must be eligible to live stream and free of active restrictions. If you're enabling live streaming for the first time, YouTube can take up to 24 hours to activate it.
  2. Rights-cleared content Use videos, music and visuals you created, own, or are licensed to stream (especially important for music, meditation and entertainment channels).
  3. Enough videos to fill the hours You can loop one video, but a longer playlist repeats less often.
  4. A way to stream without your computer OBS on a home computer needs the computer on and online the whole time. LiveReacting streams from our servers. See how creators use LiveReacting.

Start your 24/7 live stream.

Upload your videos or music, build the playlist and connect your channel. The Free plan does not expire and lets you test the stream; a stream that runs non-stop needs the 24/7 plan.
