To ensure that your YouTube account is Hangout Millionaire ready, you need to make sure that you have verified the account and enabled live streaming.

I’ll be showing you the steps on how to do this:

Open Internet Explorer and log in to YouTube.

Click on the Profile icon on the top right of the page then click on Creator Studio. Make sure that there is already a channel created.

If there’s a channel created, let’s go to Live Events. Click on Enable live streaming button. We’ll be getting an Account Verification Page. We need to enter a phone number to get the account verified. There are 2 options to do this: 1. Via Phone Call or 2. SMS.

Please note that we need to verify the YouTube account in order to be able to use this account in Hangout Millionaire.

You may use any phone number that you have. If you have exhausted your phone numbers, here are several options you can get phone numbers from:

– K7.net

– LaserVoiceMail.com

– prepaid mobile phone numbers

For this tutorial, I’ll be selecting the SMS option. Text me the verification code. I’ll be entering my prepaid mobile phone number and hit Submit.

Once I’ve received the text message, I’ll enter the verification code and hit Submit.

Now I’m getting the Verified page. Congratulations your YouTube account is now verified.

Click Continue.

You’ll now get the Terms and conditions page. Click on I agree.

Now, we have successfully enabled our YouTube channel for live streaming.

To test if our YouTube account is Hangout Millionaire ready, click on the Upload button found on the top right of the page.

Then under Google Hangouts on Air, click Broadcast.

Just click on No thanks.

Enter a name to call the Hangout.

Click Share.

Click Start. A pop-up window for the Hangout page will open. On this page, just click on the right arrow to go to the next page. Click on it again to go next. Click on the check icon.

You’ll get the Invite guests pop-up, just click on Skip button.

Next page gives you the Google+ Hangouts on Air Terms and conditions. Just click on the checkbox to agree to both the Google+Hangouts on Air terms and YouTube terms. Then click on Continue.

For Q&A session, just click on Not now.

Showcase featured items, click on Got it.

Close the Control Room pop-up.

Now, we’ll check the Hangout Settings. At the top of the page, you’ll get a blue pop-up that says Your Microphone is not working is hardware muted. Click on Settings to go to the Hangout Settings.

Please note here are the Hangout settings we need for HOM to work:

For Video: make sure Hangout Millionaire Vcam is selected

For Microphone: Hangout Millionaire Vaudio is selected.

Then Click Save

Next, we’ll test if the Hangout screenshare works. You can open any video that you have on your computer. I’ll just open one of the test videos I have created with HOM.

So here’s a video playing. I’ll just adjust the settings to 50%

Next, let’s click on the green Screenshare icon. This is the 2nd icon found on the left side of the screen.

Once, you’ve click on Screenshare, you should get an icon flashing on the bottom of the screen, click on it. You’ll get another pop-up window, click on Windows Media Player.  Click on Start Screenshare.

You should see the video playing in Windows Media Player and a video inside the Hangout page playing. If you see this, it means it’s successful and High Quality Hangouts will now work.  You may now close the windows.

Let’s go back to YouTube page.

We’ll upload a test video. Enter a Title, Description, and Tags. Then click on Publish.

Our video is now successfully published.
