3. Selecting Streaming Software: Use an encoder like OBS Studio, which is a popular free option for live streaming ¹⁴.
4. Connecting Software to YouTube: You'll typically connect your streaming software to YouTube using a stream key ⁶.
5. Configuring Stream Settings: When setting up your live stream on YouTube's Live Control Room, you'll find options for visibility. Here, you can select "Members Only" to restrict access to your channel members ⁹.

This allows you to create premium content for your dedicated subscribers, strengthening your community and providing exclusive experiences ⁹.
