Live streaming could not start because the Stream creation failed due to YouTube restrictions. Creation in the YouTube Live dashboard is required, go to the dashboard and the Stream will be created automatically.
We’d like to inform you about an issue where live streaming couldn’t start because YouTube Stream creation failed.
You need a YouTube Stream to live stream on YouTube.
For users with a YouTube channel that has more than 50 subscribers, the PRISM app is designed to create Streams using the features YouTube provides to third-party apps like PRISM.
However, the PRISM app is currently unable to create a Stream due to restrictions placed on your channel by YouTube.
YouTube states that a channel’s live streaming feature may be automatically disabled or suspended in the following cases:
Your channel has received a Community Guidelines strike.
Your live stream or archived live stream has been blocked globally.
Your live stream or archived live stream has received a copyright takedown.
Your live stream matches another copyrighted live broadcast.
You’ve reached your daily limit for creating live streams. You can try again in 24 hours.
You can refer to the YouTube support page for more details.
You can also check if live streaming is currently available for your channel at the link below.
However, YouTube allows users to create a separate Stream from the YouTube Live Dashboard at any time, and the PRISM app can also start live streaming using a Stream created there.
Creating a Stream from the Live Dashboard is simple. Just open the page in a web browser on a PC, and it will be created automatically.
That’s why the PRISM app provides a link in the guidance dialog to help users easily access the YouTube Live Dashboard in such cases.
Now, click the ‘GO TO YOUTUBE LIVE DASHBOARD’ link in the image below.
Simply opening the Live Dashboard page will automatically start the Stream creation process.
As shown in the image on the left, you’ll see a red progress bar moving at the top of the page. When the progress bar stops and the screen is fully loaded, it means the Stream has been created successfully.
Once the Stream is created, close the screen by clicking the X button at the bottom right, then click the yellow Go Live button on the Live Ready Screen of the PRISM app to start live streaming again.
Live streaming should now start normally.
This process may be a bit inconvenient, but you’ll need to do this every time you want to start a live stream while the PRISM app is unable to create a Stream automatically due to the current status of your channel.
Additionally, you can create a Stream in advance by accessing the Live Dashboard through a web browser on your PC before starting your live stream. If you create a Stream in advance, you can skip the step of going to the Live Dashboard to create your own Stream when starting a live stream in the PRISM app.
For reference, you can access the Live Dashboard through the following steps in a web browser on your PC.
YouTube > Click the ‘Create’ button at the top right > Click ‘Go Live’ > YouTube Live Dashboard
Android error code: 4219
iOS error code: 403 / 8
> YouTube Live Dashboard
