Upload the video once. We encode it to YouTube’s recommended live spec and keep it looping to your stream key from our datacenter, restarting it if the connection ever drops.
YouTube gives you a reusable stream key, which is what makes an unattended loop practical: the key does not change between sessions, so a restart reconnects to the same broadcast.
We fill this in for you - YouTube uses one primary ingest endpoint for everybody.
In YouTube Studio, open Go live and copy the key from the Stream tab. Paste it into Loopcast once and you are done.
Looping pre-recorded video as a live stream is allowed on YouTube - it is an established format, and the platform has promoted it. That is not a blank cheque, though, and the limits are worth knowing before you start rather than after a strike.
A full trailer or a long reel is fine. Looping a few seconds of footage over and over is the fastest way to be treated as low-effort repetitive content.
A 24/7 loop is 24/7 exposure for whatever is on the soundtrack. Copyrighted music will mute, demonetise or strike the stream - and it will do it repeatedly.
Do not stage chat or imply someone is present and interacting. A loop that is honestly a loop is fine; one pretending to be a person is not.
If any part of the video is AI-generated, disclose it in the description. That is YouTube’s rule, not ours.
