YouTube has rolled out a new feature called Go Live Together, which allows creators to co-host livestreams after teasing it last year.
Anyone with more than 50 subscribers can invite a guest to host a livestream from their iOS or Android mobile device.

Only one guest is permitted at any given time, but the host may introduce new guests during the same livestream.
Co-streams can be scheduled using YouTube’s desktop app, but both the host and the guest must use mobile devices during the livestream.
To do so, launch the YouTube app, select “Create,” and then “Go Live Together.” Select “Invite a co-streamer” after entering stream details and sending an invite link to the co-streamer.
They will then be transferred to the waiting room until you click “Go Live.”
There is no minimum number of followers for guests, but guests who violate any community guidelines will be held accountable by the host. Hosts can earn money from ads that appear before, during, and after the video.
YouTube has a similar feature that allows creators to co-host shopping livestreams and redirects to a brand’s channel.

Twitch recently launched a beta feature called Guest Star, which allows creators to bring up to five guests onto their streams.
That system is a little simpler in that any viewer can raise their virtual hand and the host can invite them on, similar to Clubhouse or Twitter Spaces. Unlike YouTube, Twitch’s version is only available on desktop computers.
