How do I create a live event on YouTube?

YouTube is the ideal platform for sharing videos, but did you know that it can also host live events? YouTube Live is, indeed, a feature highly appreciated by content creators. Public events, whether cultural, educational, charitable or otherwise, can thus increase their resonance thanks to the power of live.
