Zoom Webinar Livestream to YouTube - Stuck in audio loop

[bpi]

Hello! I used the "Livestream to YouTube" feature for the first time and had a bad experience:

Every 20 seconds, it restarted the audio, overlapping on top of me continuing to present. You couldn't understand what I was saying because it was restarting the webinar on top of me over and over again. After 3 minutes, I ended the event because it sounded like 10 of me talking over myself. Both the Zoom Webinar recording and YouTube livestream recording sound like this.

Has anyone else had this issue? Any fixes?

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @bpi.

I’m guessing two things happened:

• You were watching the YouTube stream with the audio unmuted
• Your audio setup was feeding both your mic and your computer audio into Zoom

The YouTube audio is delayed by 15-20 seconds … So it goes back into Zoom and then the same audio comes out of YouTube 20 seconds later – exactly as you described.

You’ll need to find a way to monitor your live stream without audio.
