Other enhancements, according to the report, are more in tune with engaging with fans while streaming. YouTube claims of employing ultra-low latency which could help gamers to answer fan questions while being on the live-stream. It is also using tools for easier chat moderation, which includes the ability to assign a moderator who can handle the chat during a live stream.

Currently, anyone with even a 100 subscribers can live stream from their Android or iPhone directly. YouTube has also  **revamped the YouTube app** and included a clean design language, gestures that can move the video around along with the ability to perform functionalities like rewind or fast-forward.
