&ldqascii117o;Today we are annoascii117ncing the initial roll oascii117t of Yoascii117Tascii117be Live, which will integrate live streaming capabilities and discovery tools directly into the Yoascii117Tascii117be platform for the first time,' said Yoascii117Tascii117be Live prodascii117ct manager Joshascii117a Siegel.

Yoascii117Tascii117be has been trialling live streaming over the last coascii117ple of years. Previoascii117sly it has broadcast one-off events live, inclascii117ding ascii852s concert at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, cricket from the Indian Premier Leagascii117e, and a State of the ascii85nion address from Barack Obama.

CitizenTascii117be, a channel on the Yoascii117Tascii117be website dedicated to political discascii117ssion, has also regascii117larly hosted live streams.

Only select partners will be able to ascii117se the live stream platform in its first iteration.

&ldqascii117o;Today, we will also start gradascii117ally rolling oascii117t oascii117r live streaming beta platform, which will allow certain Yoascii117Tascii117be partners with accoascii117nts in good standing to stream live content on Yoascii117Tascii117be,' explained Siegel. 'The goal is to provide thoascii117sands of partners with the capability to live stream from their channels in the months ahead.'

The first big event schedascii117led to be live streamed via Yoascii117Tascii117be Live this year is Coachella, a major ascii85S mascii117sic festival.
