The YouTube Live Stream Concept
Take a look at the diagram below to understand the concept.
The idea is to set up your Wyze Cam to stream the video to a computer that has a Free software which can generate a video stream to your YouTube channel.
The Free software is called Luxriot Evo, you can use it to record the Wyze Cam on the PC and stream the video to YouTube at the same time. Cool, huh ?

==> I'm assuming you already have a Wyze Cam with the RTSP protocol enabled and that you understand the basics of VMS software.
