YouTube Shorts Bonus Program: Who Gets Invited and How It Pays YouTube Shorts Bonus Program: Who Gets Invited and How It Pays

For teams running several programs

Run separate live channels from one place.

Give each channel its own playlist, schedule and destinations. Manage recurring shows and continuous channels in Upstream, with cloud playback instead of a separate computer per feed.

How it works

Each stream has its own schedule.

Set the start time and the platforms for every stream separately. Each one runs from Upstream's servers, so no computer has to stay on.

01 Separate programs

Keep each program separate.

Create a stream for each program, with its own playlist and destinations. Use different content for each channel rather than sending one feed everywhere.

See playlists

02 Scheduling

Set the schedule for each channel.

Start a channel now or give a show a daily or weekly slot. Manage the next broadcast in your browser while the playlist plays from the cloud.

See scheduling

03 Team

Give each person the streams they run.

Invite people with their own login and set their access per stream, so each channel has its own operators.

See team access

Your first broadcast

Prove one channel, then add the next

A short test makes the program and destination setup clear before you add more concurrent capacity.

  1. 01 Step 1

    Map the programs you need to run

    Decide which channels need different content and which destinations should receive the same feed. Separate programs need separate streams; extra destinations on one program do not.

  2. 02 Step 2

    Test one program on the free plan

    Upload the playlist, connect its destination and check a short public broadcast. Save the setup so you can use it for the next show.

  3. 03 Step 3

    Choose capacity for simultaneous programs

    When you need several programs live at once, choose the concurrent-stream capacity on a paid plan. Start and check each channel with its own content.

Pricing · per concurrent stream

One free stream. Paid gets cheaper as you scale.

Start with 1 paid stream at $30/mo, scale to 1000+, and pay less as you add streams: 2 streams are $50/mo, 3 streams are $70/mo, then 4+ streams are $20/stream/mo or $16/stream/mo when billed yearly.

FAQ

Choosing channel capacity

Multistreaming sends the same program to several destinations. Running separate programs at the same time uses one concurrent stream per program. You can also multistream each program.

A single program can go to up to 10 destinations at once and uses one concurrent stream. Add capacity when you need independent programs to run at the same time.

Yes. Each stream has its own playlist and destinations. You can run different content and schedules for each program.

Standard monthly pricing for 1080p at 30 fps is $30 for one concurrent stream or $50 for two. Output quality and billing period affect the price; see the current pricing options.

Yes. Every feature is included on the free plan, with one concurrent stream and 24 streaming hours each month. Test the first program before choosing paid capacity for additional simultaneous streams.

Use the enterprise page to discuss a larger setup. For software-managed operations, see the live streaming API.
