That changes today with a minor update to the YouTube app for iOS. iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users can look forward to a new section under &#8220;From YouTube&#8221; named &#8220;Live.&#8221; Tapping on that section will reveal all the live streams that are currently going on. There is a search bar up top so you can search for a specific event you want to watch live. This is perfect for viewing live streaming concerts, although Coachella just took place this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Another minor update to the YouTube app is the ability to create video playlists to send to your TV. While the &#8220;send to TV&#8221; feature has existed for a while, it could only be used to stream one video at a time. Previously, there was no way to queue up videos to watch, making it a pain to have to choose one video after another.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-39231\" title=\"youtube for ios live stream section\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/04\/2013-04-15-12.18.51.png\" alt=\"youtube for ios live stream section\" width=\"640\" height=\"479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/04\/2013-04-15-12.18.51.png 1000w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/04\/2013-04-15-12.18.51-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately this update to YouTube for iOS didn&#8217;t bring along any live streaming capabilities for the <a title=\"youtube capture\" href=\"http:\/\/youtube-capture.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube Capture<\/a> app. For now, YouTube only supports viewing live streams.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a title=\"itunes app store youtube\" href=\"http:\/\/target.georiot.com\/Proxy.ashx?grid=680&amp;id=wbNcMYXTTwU&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fyoutube%252Fid544007664%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iTunes App Store<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the YouTube app for iOS is great for watching videos uploaded to YouTube, there was no way to watch live streaming videos.
