A front row seat to the royal wedding
The much predictable royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton is finally here, and you have a front seat. Tune into the Royal Channel, the official YouTube channel of the British Monarchy, on April 29 to see the whole wedding celebration live. The live stream will begin at 10:00am BST (9:00am GMT, 2:00am PT, 5:00am ET) on Friday, April 29, and will pursue the wedding procession, marriage ceremony at Westminster Abbey and balcony kiss. The Royal Channel will also trait live blog commentary of the event to give timely updates and insights as the day unfolds. If you can’t watch the live event, footage will be revealed in its entirety directly following the celebration and will be obtainable in full on the site to view afterward.
From Brazil to the California desert, a festivity of music
Earlier this year, we took on the task of capturing the festivity, passion and celebration of Brazil’s famed Carnaval. We live streamed six days of unbelievable festivities for the world, resulting in more than 11 million channel views to date. Continuing in that spirit of sharing world events more generally, we helped expand the reach of California’s Coachella Festival by live streaming the event. YouTube streamed more than 65 bands and three days of music on three separate channels, generating more than 60 million views during live and re-broadcast events. If you missed the events, you can still check out the magic of Carnaval or your favorite artists’ Coachella performances at www.youtube.com/Carnaval and www.youtube.com/Coachella.
