YouTube has verified Appear’s X platform for SRT live streaming.

This means that Appear’s X5, X10, and X20 hardware can be used to reliably stream live to YouTube.

This was acheived after a major European broadcast platform approached YouTube to request support for Appear’s encoders in their production pipeline. This led to YouTube and Appear collaborating on the verification. 

Thomas Bostrøm Jørgensen, CEO at Appear, said: “Becoming a YouTube-verified encoder partner is a significant step forward for us and our customers. It reinforces our position in professional-grade IP contribution and gives our users a powerful new route to reach global audiences across one of the most important platforms in digital media.”

Callum Hewett, live solutions consultant, YouTube, added: “YouTube collaborates with technology partners to ensure their products meet our highest standards for reliability and performance when streaming to YouTube Live. We’re pleased to verify Appear’s X Platform for SRT delivery which we hope will streamline content delivery for all of their partners. It’s been great working with Appear on this and I look forward to seeing high-quality, resilient live production workflows delivered to YouTube via the Appear platforms.”
