Webcaster X1 for YouTube user guide

Set video title

When you first get your Webcaster X1 for YouTube, the default video title is:

  • Live Video Stream Title from the Epiphan Webcaster X1 For YouTube

Before streaming to YouTube with Webcaster X1, you can choose to set the initial video title. It's easy!

ClosedWhere is the video title used on YouTube?
  • You can see the video title while watching the video (see below the video):
  • The video title is also visible (and editable) from your live dashboard (see the Basic Info section) :
  • And the video title is also used in other YouTube locations like on your list of videos, in search results, etc.
  • You can also change your video title and add a description by editing the text from the YouTube live dashboard.
  • Note: During a broadcast, Webcaster X1 is not updated to reflect the current video video title for your live stream (e.g. if you change it using YouTube, Webcaster X1 is not updated with your changes). This option only controls the initial video title for your stream.

To set these values for your live stream you need:

    • Your Webcaster X1 for YouTube
    • An HDMI display connected to your Webcaster X1
    • A USB mouse connected to your Webcaster X1 (must be connected before boot-up)
    • Optionally, a USB keyboard connected to your Webcaster X1 (must be connected before boot-up)
