YouTube rolling out Live Chat Replay (and more)

I know there has been a lot of interest here in trying to find ways to preserve live chat conversation. It sounds like this update may fit the bill.

Today we are starting to roll out chat replay to YouTube, so you can follow the conversation even after a live stream is over. Live chat replays will show up alongside the video, exactly as it appeared live.

I haven't seen in in action and the help center isn't updated yet with details, but it sounds promising.

New YouTube Live features: Super Chat triggers real world events, live chat replay, auto-captions, location sharing and more

Today's updates make like streams more accessible and more fun:

* Live chat replay lets people follow the chat after the live stream is over.

* English automatic captions are coming to live streams " with error rates and latency approaching industry standards"

* You can now add a location tag to mobile live streams and video uploads. People can find uploads by location filtering in search or by clicking a location tag.
