One of the standout features of Samsung's latest phablets is their ability to stream to YouTube. With the Galaxy Note 5 or S6 Edge Plus, you can livestream a feed from your phone's cameras directly to your audience on YouTube, removing the need to hook a camera or your phone up to your computer and setting up the stream there. Here's how to do it yourself.
The following steps were taken on a Galaxy Note 5, but are the same on a S6 Edge Plus.
1. Open the Camera app.
2. Press the Mode button on the bottom left.
