Lookner Channel Sickness, Live Streaming Update from Boston
Steve Lookner of the Lookner channel on YouTube has created a new live stream video entitled “Sickness & Mobile Live Streaming Update from Boston”.
In this video Steve is still in front of a green screen. He says that on his phone and his iPad he was getting a message saying his account isn’t eligible for live streaming. But recently a “live” button showed up, and he thought that live streaming was working. But when he tries to do a live stream after clicking the button, he got the eligibility error message again! So he says there is still no live streaming, although maybe some progress is being made.
The Lookner channel’s YouTube page does now have the “Community” tab enabled, however. He asks if anyone got the message he posted there. He also demonstrates how to use the YouTube “SUBSCRIBE” button, and also how to use the bell button to get notifications, too. He talks about notifications in general. He thinks that the Discord channel should give notifications soon.
Steve moves on to talking about how he has been sick lately. It’s day three, or more, of being sick. He says he’s had terrible sleep, getting only 5 hours in bursts of 1 hour, but he also says he’s feeling a little better. He’s staying with his mother, so he sees her often, but he hasn’t been able to see his father who is in a care facility. He also hasn’t seen one of his brothers and his brother’s family, as he doesn’t want to risk them getting sick.
He also gives a monetization update. The channel needs 4,000 viewer hours to apply for monetization, and it’s now at about 3,500 watch hours. So he’s hopeful that he’ll soon be able to apply for monetization, but expects it might take up to a month before it’s enabled. He discusses the monetization process. He talks about community notifications, and how they might not work on iPads. Steve also answers various questions from viewers, and chats about various topics.
Even when he’s sick, or recovering from being sick, I think Steve puts on an interesting live stream! I’m looking forward to seeing some Lookner channel live streams once live streaming is enabled for his phone. It sure sounds like it’s close to being enabled! Get well soon, Steve.
