I tried using the arrows on my keyboard and they wouldn't work until I managed to click, hold and drag the bottom of the page for a bit. It's an annoying solution, but that's the only way I could scroll at all. Page Up and Down wouldn't work at all.
Yes, I need to get a new mouse.
Seeing how google treated the content creators, forcing them to get financially fucked in the ass by muli-channel groups for no good reason (literally protection money from content ID). I hope YT Gaming crashes and burns.
Twitch isn't perfect but they are not downright evil (and besides the interface and chat are way better).

try a non-chrome browser. the scroll bars are really an eyesore though hah
The same way as always.
While you stream you are ok (Twitch, GYT, etc)
Once you archive/upload the video, it can be tagged
Can you go into detail?

Eh, not worth the hassle, especially since my accounts are already set up in chrome.
Twitch video is still utter shit.

Is anyone else having trouble signing in from Chrome?

The interface is pretty abhorrent and cluttered. Instead of trying to copy a Twitch-like aesthetic, they should've tried to make their own unique take on the game streaming site phenom.

main advantage to me so far is video quality available to everyone if you have the upload bandwidth and the ability for the viewer to rewind the live stream to catch up on things you might have missed.
also there are a lot more people who have google accounts. my friends often watch when i stream but they can't be bothered to create a twitch account. will help with getting people to interact in chat more. of course chat for the popular streamers is probably still gonna be fucked and filled with garbage

You mean using that livestreamer program? I mean sure, but I like to watch it on my TV while I do other things.

THANK YOU here I thought I was going mad fuck this shit call me back when they re-do the whole layout absolute garbage.
Yay for copyright strikes, got one about 2 months back on a video that now limits my account from streaming and some other stuff up until January.
The copyright stuff will be the thing that makes Twitch stay on top. Even though like 98% of the stuff that gets flagged for copyright on youtube just adds some ads, those other 2 percent just fucks up your entire account. Why would anyone who makes money from streaming risk losing that income because they got unlucky with something that got content ID'd?
Now I don't really stream much at all, but it happens. And because of the dumb limitations on my account Youtube isn't even an option even if I wanted to now. Way better bitrate, a better player and option to selected quality without paying is stuff that makes it a better service to me, but I can't even use it because of a fucking Taylor Swift song I had uploaded a Rocksmith video of over a year ago..

You are right, it took a long time for me to get an account even though I have been watching twitch for a while. Only reason I got an account was to keep track of people I am following.

Gaming.Youtube is so over-designed and slow. This is what happens when you try to innovate too much. It ruins the simplicity

That's exactly what I said. It's too much shit going on. All Twitch really needs to do is improve their quality. That's really the biggest complaint that people have.

Posted this earlier, but didnt get a respone, so posting again
I am a streamer. I stream smash and splatoon almost every weekday. I am not a large stream by any means.
Is there anywhere that can help spell out the differences between the two? Or let me know why I would switch? Isnt the audience still going to go to twitch?

Quality and DVR features is a huge strike against twitch for me.
I can also do without the donation/following/subscribe text/graphic on the screen every couple of second. Shit remind me of myspace.
Depends how many people you have on average. If it is low, I would switch to youtube to get a good start to be noticed. Twitch is bad at smaller streams being seen.
Those are third party programs, not something that twitch gives streamers. So you can probably expect stuff like that in youtube aswell

You act as though that's not gonna be a thing on Youtube. Streamers need to make money somehow.
VincentMatts

Not in Canadia it isnt
They are also OBS/XSplit plug ins, which will 100% work with YouTube too.
I don't mind the donations and follows because people online need to make money too. Streaming is not as easy as it seems.
I really hope not. There is a donate button on youtubegaming but I haven't seen it being used yet.
I hope youtube doesnt make it easy like in twitch.
Donations are fine but just the bombardment of text everytime it happens is so annoying.
For those commenting on the homepage UI..
First, thanks for the feedback.
Second, we're working on a few performance issues that have cropped up during the launch regarding loading on gaming.youtube.com. Stay tuned.
Additionally, try importing / adding your gaming channels you already subscribe to on YT and also add your favorite games. The homepage takes on a much different feel once it's the channels and games that you love.
Is there any way to add games to the current database when typed in search?

That plus the streamers that stop playing or commentating to say "thank you for the follow" every single fucking time someone follows or subscribes...sigh

That's not Twitch. That is the streamer. It's definitely going to make it's way to YT once a api is available.
This is what I hope youtube doesn't allow in thier apis.
Guile doing a sonic boom, a cat licking the screen, some dumb gif covering the screen.
Anyone knows what happens when you donate on youtubegaming? I havent seen it being used yet.
Thats something that happens on the streamers end and is getting streamed the same way the game is streamed, its not on twitches end and then getting put on the stream somehow

It wasn't the crux of my point at all, just a single issue compounding everything else that you pointed out that I was responding to.
Nothing inherently happens on either, it's the streamer implementing it.
I'm using the Android app. Is the DVR function not working for anyone else? It normally works for regular YouTube streams.
Also, I thought with my YouTube Music Key, I could listen to the stream in the background, but that's not possible.
EDIT: Just tried this on the regular YouTube app & was wrong on both accounts. I could have sworn I was able to rewind in pervious YouTube streams.

I get it, I am sure Google has analytics to show how people use the site. I am sure it will change in the future.

I'm trying this out playing some Arma 3. I've had an issue so far with my stream going blocky with lots of movement, and I didn't really have this problem on Twitch. I upped my bitrate from 3500 to 4000 and still have the same result. I also switched to the "less buffering" instead of "low latency" option as the low latency option wasn't very low latency.

I really don't see the issue with overlays and subscriber/donation call outs.
Sure it can be annoying but they are undoubtedly very effective and a further tool enabling streamers delivering content and getting rewarded for it.

It seems to happen at 1080p streaming after doing multiple tests.

The issue with it implementing into a YouTube account is that any YouTube strike makes you ineligible to stream for six months. This will make people pretty wary about playing certain games or making archives of their regular streams while music is playing.

Link to use the gaming UI. I wonder if people will be able to set it up so that people who use the regular link will land on the gaming side's version.
Hmmm, I wonder if I can do anything to combat it.
