# Using StreamYard to go Live

### Using StreamYard to go live in SocialGlow

If you use StreamYard to go live in multiple social media accounts at the same time, you may be wondering how you can include streaming to SocialGlow. Essentially, you will stream directly to your YouTube channel, and use that YouTube link in your SocialGlow group. 


|| This article covers live streams specifically. _If instead you have a previously-recorded stream or video:_ 
|| You can either download the video or obtain the share link and include that in your SocialGlow post. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/8a7f9756357e2000/share-download-streamyard-reco_1j6avfy.png)
