If you are an Affiliate or Partner with Twitch, you can set up and use a subscriber stream. This way, only your most loyal fans, subscribers, moderators, and VIPs, can tune in and watch your stream. To start this, go to your broadcaster dashboard and change the “Audience” to “Subscribers. " Finally, click to begin your stream. [1] X Research source
Once you have a stream without any identifiers, you can grab the link and share it with your friends or family. There’s no guarantee, however, that a random person won’t stumble across your stream.
Streaming on YouTube requires verifying your account. The account verification process takes 24 hours and requires your phone number. If you’ve already verified your account, you can start streaming immediately.
If you have a Gmail/Google account, you can use it to sign into YouTube.
Choose how to receive the verification code (via SMS message or over the phone via an automated call). Enter your phone number and click Submit. Enter the code you receive. Once the code is accepted, you’ll see a message that says your channel will be ready in 24 hours. In 24 hours, return to this page and click Get Started to pick up where you left off.
If you don’t plan on sharing your live stream with anyone at all, you can select Private instead.
