<p>Taking on Facebook Live, Alphabet&#39;s YouTube has rolled out a new feature that allows YouTube users with more than 10,000 subscribers to live stream from mobile devices. YouTube will roll out the new feature for other contributors soon.</p>

<p>&quot;Mobile live streaming has been built directly into the YouTube mobile app. All you have to do to start streaming is open YouTube, hit the capture button, and you&rsquo;re live,&quot; says YouTube in a blog post.</p>

<p>Streamed videos will have all the same features as regular YouTube videos. They can be searched for, found via recommendations or playlists, and protected from unauthorised use.</p>

Besides, YouTube has also launched Super Chat, another new feature that allows users to highlight their messages for a fee. The Super Chat feature lets any fan watching a live stream stand out from the crowd and get the creator&#39;s attention by purchasing chat messages that are highlighted in bright colours and stay pinned to the top of the chat window for up to five hours.</p>

<p>This new monetisation tool (available to creators in more than 20 countries and viewers in more than 40 countries) will help creators earn revenue from live streaming. &quot;Super Chat is like paying for that front-row seat in the digital age,&quot; says YouTube.</p>

<p>Live video is becoming a highly competitive feature on social platforms, with companies competing to stream major sports events and exclusive videos from high-profile events such as the Oscar and Grammy awards shows.</p>

<p>While YouTube started supporting live streaming on its website since 2011, Facebook Live, which offers streaming video in real time, was launched in 2015.</p>

<p>Twitter started allowing live broadcasts from its mobile app last year.</p>
