How to stream cell phone screen to YouTube + front camera

YouTube Gaming is no longer a passive application that only allows you to consume content about video games (videos or games in real time): recently Google has added a couple of functions to create content, which canThey allow you to record the Android screen and also transmit it in real time to the internet. And it not only serves to record us playing games, but anything that is done on the Android.

There are several ways to record screen on Android (KitKat, Lollipop, with root, without root, etc.). Let’s add YouTube Gaming to this list, which stands out from other options because it also allows the Android screen to be transmitted in real time (live streaming) to the video platform «YouTube Gaming» (YouTube’s sister page, exclusively for video game content ).

This function is supposed to only be used to create content about video games, but according to my tests, I have found that it can also be used to record anything that is done on the Android (video tutorials?) And I am afraid that it can also be transmitted in time real anything that is done on screen (maybe to guide or give remote support to someone?)

Another great thing about YouTube Gaming is that the recording of the front camera is included in the screenshot, which allows you to show your face while you are playing a game or doing something on your Android.

To start a recording or broadcast the screen (a verified account is required for the latter), press the blue button at the top right (the one with the figure of a person) and select “Go Live”. Then you choose if you are going to record the screen or transmit, the video quality (720p, 480p), the application or game you want to capture and that’s it. The controls to start recording will appear in the lower right (along with the image from the front camera). Recording is stopped from those same controls. Screen recordings are saved in the Videos or Movies folder in the device memory.

Unfortunately, it seems that recording or streaming the screen with YouTube Gaming demands a lot from the device, so it is possible that in many low or mid-range equipment this generates latency (makes them slow). In addition, it is noted that Android 5 or higher is required to have these recording and transmission functions.
