Yes—YouTube requires channel verification to live stream, and phone verification is the usual step that grants access to intermediate features. But phone verification alone does not guarantee live access: check your channel’s Feature eligibility and live-stream status. The 50-subscriber minimum applies to streaming from the YouTube mobile app, not as a general requirement for computer streaming.
What YouTube means by verification
YouTube’s live-streaming guidance says a channel must be verified and must have had no live-streaming restrictions in the past 90 days. YouTube Help: Get started with live streaming
Phone verification is an account step: YouTube sends a six-digit code for you to receive and enter. Completing it grants access to intermediate features. It is not the same as having a phone, webcam, encoder, or console available to stream.
Verification does not guarantee access to every feature. YouTube says advanced features require phone verification plus sufficient channel history or ID/video verification, and some features have separate eligibility requirements. Do not assume advanced verification is required for basic live streaming; check your own channel’s Feature eligibility and live-stream status.

- 【Strong Adsorption】The inspiration of the silicone phone suction case comes from the adhesive force of the octopus. Each suction cup phone mount is 3.15 inches long and 2.17 inches wide, with 24 independent suction cups providing a stronger and more stable suction force, so you don't have to worry about your phone falling during use.
- 【Back of Phone Suction Grip】Remove the adhesive film on the phone suction cup and stick it on the phone case. You can then fix the phone on any smooth surface, which is very convenient. (The phone suction cup cannot be removed and reused after being attached to the phone case. It is recommended to attach it to a regular phone case, not a valuable one.)
- 【Widely Used】Our non-slip silicone phone sticky grip mount attaches to almost any flat phone case and make it compatible with common mobile phones such as iPhone and Android.You can shoot, watch videos or video calls in the kitchen, gym, dance studio, bathroom and other places.
- 【Capture the Wonderful Picture】Whether you are a TikTok creator or just like to share videos and photos, this phone suction cup can help you hands-free capture wonderful videos and photos for sharing with friends.
- 【Note】You can fix the phone suction cup on a smooth surface such as a mirror or glass. If necessary, wipe the suction cup with a damp cloth to obtain stronger suction. Before releasing your hand, make sure the phone is firmly fixed. (Not applicable to rough walls, wooden surfaces, and other uneven surfaces)
Requirements depend on how you stream
| Method | What to check |
|---|---|
| Computer: webcam or encoder | Verify the channel, confirm there has been no live-streaming restriction in the past 90 days, and check Feature eligibility. YouTube’s general live-streaming overview does not list a general subscriber minimum for computer streaming. |
| YouTube mobile app | In addition to channel verification and no live-stream restriction in the previous 90 days, YouTube’s current mobile instructions require at least 50 subscribers, enabling live streaming, and a supported Android or iOS device. First-time mobile live streaming may take up to 24 hours after enabling. YouTube Help: Create a live stream on mobile – Android |
| Console | YouTube lists console as a live-streaming method. Check the channel’s Feature eligibility and live-stream status; the general overview does not give a general subscriber minimum for console streaming. |
If Go Live is unavailable after phone verification
- Open YouTube Studio and check Feature eligibility. Confirm which features are enabled for the channel; phone verification does not itself confirm eligibility for every feature.
- Check for a live-stream restriction notice. YouTube requires no live-streaming restrictions in the preceding 90 days. If a restriction is active, live access may be disabled. Do not use another channel to get around it while it remains active; YouTube prohibits circumvention. YouTube Help: Avoid restrictions on YouTube live streaming
- If you are using the mobile app, confirm the mobile-specific conditions. Check the 50-subscriber minimum, supported device, and that live streaming has been enabled. If this is your first mobile stream, allow up to 24 hours after enabling.
- Make sure you completed the verification step. If you have not received or entered the six-digit code, follow YouTube’s phone-verification process, then recheck Feature eligibility.
- Try an eligible method appropriate to your channel. The mobile-app subscriber rule is mobile-specific; a computer stream has a different eligibility check.
