Create a trailer or teaser video

A trailer lets your subscribers know about the event

by appearing in the channel feed. A few key points

as you craft your trailer:

Include the important stuff - when the live event

is happening, and for how long.

Feature the host/talent from the livestream.

Link to the scheduled event in the trailer’s

description. Once the event is live, swap in the

livestream video URL.

YouTube Live

Use the trailer you create to promote the
livestream through paid promotion.

When your live event is published, your
subscribers receive an email with your thumbnail and
title. Make these look and sound awesome!
