Google Stadia launches YouTube live streaming support
Google has confirmed that the delayed integration between Stadia and YouTube is launching, to allow live streaming from the cloud to the world
Google is finally making good on one of its most promised features, which wasn’t ready when the service went live. Starting tomorrow, all users will be able to live-stream their games on YouTube, putting right an omission which had put some users off the service. As well as streaming, the YouTube integrations will make it easier to view what the creator is up to. Plans to offer weblinks to join a game in progress don't appear to be realised with this update, alas. According to 9to5Google and The Verge, you’ll just have to name your stream and confirm if it is suitable for children or not.

Google shuts down the YouTube Gaming app
It's been 4 years since the initial release of the YouTube Gaming app and Google is already getting rid of it at the end of this month.
Google isn't exactly known for supporting unsuccessful products for very long. It's been 4 years since the initial release of YouTube Gaming and the company is already getting rid of it. To be honest, it's probably for the better. Ever since the launch, the purpose of the application has been unclear. It didn't offer anything particularly new and different from the regular YouTube app. Even for gamers, who are the main market for this platform, found the use of the app confusing. It took Google just a couple of years to acknowledge that.
