How to Change Stream Titles and Thumbnails for a Livepush YouTube Broadcast

Livepush supports title updates through linked YouTube accounts, including during a broadcast. For thumbnails, use YouTube Studio when the selected event offers the controls.

You can change a Livepush broadcast’s title from the Livepush dashboard if its YouTube destination uses a linked YouTube account; Livepush says the update can be pushed while the broadcast is live without interrupting it. For a custom thumbnail, use YouTube Studio’s thumbnail controls for the specific broadcast when they’re available. Livepush’s reviewed documentation does not establish that it can edit thumbnails.

Change the title in Livepush

  1. Open the relevant live stream or destination in your Livepush dashboard.

  2. Check that the YouTube destination is connected through a linked YouTube account. Livepush’s managed title feature requires this connection; a destination configured only with a stream key does not provide the same title controls.

  3. Edit the title in the dashboard, then save or apply the change. Livepush says title updates can be pushed to linked platforms while the broadcast is live without interrupting it.

For a newly configured destination, Livepush’s setup guide describes adding a YouTube destination, linking a Google/YouTube account, selecting a channel and “New Live Event,” setting the title and description, choosing privacy, and saving. That setup process does not document thumbnail editing.

Change the thumbnail in YouTube Studio

  1. Sign in to YouTube Studio and open Content.

  2. Select the video corresponding to the broadcast you want to update. Check that you have the correct event, especially if your channel has several scheduled or past broadcasts.

What a stream key does—and does not do

A stream key carries the encoder’s video feed to YouTube. It is not a title or thumbnail setting, and resetting or rotating it is not a way to change broadcast metadata. Livepush distinguishes linked-account destinations, which support its managed title updates, from stream-key-only destinations, which carry video but do not expose those managed title controls.

YouTube’s instructions for encoder streams separately cover setting up a feed in Live Control Room. The available metadata controls depend on the stream setup; webcam guidance is not interchangeable with encoder-stream guidance. For a stream-key-only Livepush destination, use YouTube’s own controls if they are available for the selected event, then verify the public watch page.

Which route should you use?

Task Route What to know
Change the title through Livepush Livepush dashboard Requires a linked YouTube account. Livepush says updates can be pushed while live without interrupting the broadcast.
Change the title directly on YouTube YouTube Studio or Live Control Room Use the controls available for the selected event and stream setup; verify the result on the watch page.
Change a custom thumbnail YouTube Studio Livepush’s reviewed documentation does not confirm thumbnail management. YouTube says custom thumbnails require a verified account; controls may depend on the video and its state.

Troubleshooting title and thumbnail changes

  • The Livepush title will not update: Check whether the destination is connected through a linked YouTube account rather than only a stream key. Save the edit and inspect the YouTube watch page.
