The platform has been utilizing live streaming since 2011, when millions of people around the world tuned in to watch the Royal Wedding and again in 2012 during Felix Baumgartner's supersonic freefall. But since rolling out the streaming feature on mobile, YouTube said live usage has grown overall.

"We realized if we give creators an incentive to really invest in great, great, great content, then everyone wins," Alex Hofmann, president of musical.ly and live.ly, told Mashablelast year.
YouTube's Super Chat launched in beta on Thursday, but will be available more broadly at the end of the month on Jan. 31.
