YouTube is the only major platform with no hard cap on how long a stream can run. Connect your channel once and your AI creator presents your catalog, answers chat with real product specs, and keeps selling while you sleep.

Three moves from signup to a stream that sells.
In TwinTone, open Connect and authorise your YouTube channel through Google's own consent screen. No stream keys to copy, nothing to paste.
Import your Shopify store in one click, or add products manually. Descriptions and prices become the knowledge your AI creator answers chat with.
Pick your creator, pin your products, and turn on Always On. The run-of-show loops with rotation so repeats are never verbatim, and YouTube lets it run indefinitely.
Pick a path, then follow it top to bottom. Nothing skipped, nothing assumed.
Best for almost everyone. Nothing to install, nothing to keep running on your own machine.
Choose this when you want your own graphics package, multiple sources, or a human co-host cutting in alongside the AI creator.

Not to stream. Encoder and desktop streaming have no subscriber minimum — the 50-subscriber rule applies only to mobile live. The 10,000-subscriber threshold is for YouTube's Shopping affiliate program, which adds native product tagging. TwinTone works without it: your creator presents products on screen and links to your own checkout.
Yes — YouTube places no hard limit on how long a live stream can run, which makes it the strongest home for an always-on AI channel. Turn on Always On in the launch dialog and the run-of-show loops with rotation so the stream never replays verbatim. One thing to size correctly: streaming time is metered against your plan and billed, so a genuinely round-the-clock channel needs a plan built for it rather than Starter's 300 minutes.
Your channel needs phone verification, and enabling live for the first time can take up to 24 hours. Do this before the day you plan to launch.
No. Route A connects your channel over OAuth and TwinTone delivers the stream directly. OBS is only for teams who want their own overlays, extra camera sources, or a human co-host in the mix.
Streams shorter than 60 minutes are the ones that risk being read as recorded playback. Always-on streams run continuously with rotation specifically to avoid that, and every TwinTone creator reads live chat in real time.
Yes, and it is by default. Every TwinTone creator states that it is AI, and the disclosure is locked — viewers cannot bait the host into denying it. Label AI content in line with YouTube's disclosure expectations as well.
Connect your channel, pick your AI creator, and go live tonight.
