Unable to start live streaming because Stream creation failed. Please create a Stream from the YouTube Live Dashboard.
We inform you about situations where live streaming could not start because YouTube Stream creation failed.
You need a YouTube Stream to live stream to YouTube.
For users with a YouTube channel with more than 50 subscribers, the PRISM app is supposed to create Streams using the features YouTube provides to third-party apps like the PRISM app.
However, currently the PRISM app is unable to create a Stream due to restrictions placed on your channel by YouTube.
YouTube informs you that the live streaming feature of a channel will be automatically disabled or suspended in the following cases.
- Your channel got a Community Guidelines strike.
- Your live stream or archived live stream is blocked globally.
- Your live stream or archived live stream gets a copyright takedown.
- Your live stream matches another copyrighted live broadcast.
- You’ve reached your daily limit for creating live streams. You can try again in 24 hours.
You can refer to the YouTube guide page for more details.

However, YouTube also provides the ability to create a separate Stream from the YouTube Live Dashboard that users can use at any time. And the PRISM app can also start live streaming using a Stream created there.
Creating a Stream from the Live Dashboard is simple. Just open the web page using a web browser on a PC, and it will be created automatically.
That’s why the PRISM app is providing a link within the guidance dialog to make it easier for users to navigate to the YouTube Live Dashboard in such exceptional circumstances.
Now, click the ‘GO TO YOUTUBE LIVE DASHBOARD’ link in the picture below.
Just open the Live Dashboard page and the stream will start to be created automatically.
As shown in the left picture below, you can see the red progress bar moving at the top of the page as the page opens. If this progress bar stops and the contents of the screen are filled, it means that the Stream creation is complete.
When the stream creation is complete, close the screen by clicking the X button at the bottom right of the screen. Then, click the yellow Go Live button on the Live Ready Screen of the PRISM app to try live streaming again.
Live streaming should now start normally.
This may be a bit cumbersome, but you will need to do this every time you want to start a live stream while the PRISM app is unable to automatically create a Stream due to the state of your channel.
In addition, before starting live streaming, you can create a Stream in advance by visiting the Live Dashboard through a web browser on your PC.
If you create a Stream in advance, the process of going to the Live Dashboard to create your own Stream will be omitted during the live streaming start process of the PRISM app.
For reference, you can move to the Live Dashboard using the following path in the web browser on your PC.

- YouTube > ‘Create’ button at the top right of the screen > ‘Go Live’ button > YouTube Live Dashboard
