YouTube has given all members of its non-profit program the ability to live-stream from their channels.
YouTube wrote in a blog post Monday that this will give its non-profit program members the chance to spread their causes, by sharing charity events and conferences in real-time.
“In the past we have rolled out self-service live-streaming for a small group of select partners,” Ramya Raghavan, YouTube news and politics manager, told Mashable. “Today it is open up to all 16,000 nonprofit organizations in the YouTube Nonprofit Program.”
Two non-profits have already made use of live-streaming on the platform. Last Saturday, March 3, the American Foundation on Equal Rights live-streamed YouTube’s first play, 8, about the trial for Proposition 8 in California. The ONE campaign and RED live-streamed a day-long symposium on World AIDS Day in December.
YouTube has been making a big push extending its non-profit program. In April, it will host a day-long summit in San Francisco to better help non-profits tell their stories on the social video platform.
What types of events do you think non-profits should live-stream? What other organizations do you think YouTube should open up live-streaming to next?
