Hangouts On Air Vs YouTube LiveYouTube Live Pros:You can see live stats.You can access the show here:http://www.youtube.com/user/sagerock/liveYou can add it to a

playlist ahead of time so you only have to embed the playlist on an external page once.You can create a thumbnail ahead of time that people will see before the show

starts.You often will be featured in the http://youtube.com/live page and category that you chose.YouTube Live Cons:If you set your ingestion rate too high my

experience has been that it will crash the show.(Hangouts On Air has an auto detect ingestion rate.You have to use a third party Encoder like Wirecast. I use Flash Media Live Encoder with VidBlaster. This adds additional resources on your computer. This

has caused my computer to crash to a blue screen of death on multiple occasions.Overall:I'd like to use Live because of the additional features. But

between needing an encoder and risking the ingestion rate not being set right, I'm sticking with Google Hangouts On Air.
