Yes—if you change the audio program feeding the stream. A 24/7 YouTube ASMR broadcast can switch from one program, such as daytime rain, to another, such as nighttime ambience, through an upstream playout or encoder workflow. That is different from giving viewers several simultaneous audio tracks to choose from: YouTube’s Live Streaming API says an ingested stream must contain one audio stream. The reviewed YouTube documentation does not describe a built-in day/night switch or viewer-selectable multitrack audio for live streams.
What “different audio tracks” can mean
There are two distinct ideas that are easy to confuse:
- Changing the program over time: The source or playout changes the audio sent to YouTube at a scheduled time. Viewers hear the program currently being broadcast.
- Offering simultaneous choices: Viewers select between multiple audio tracks while watching the same live broadcast. The YouTube Live ingest guidance reviewed here does not support treating this as an available feature: its API health message says the ingestion stream must contain only one audio stream. Google for Developers: LiveStreams
So a day/night ASMR schedule is possible as an upstream production workflow, but it is not a YouTube player setting that changes tracks for each viewer or automatically adapts to a viewer’s time zone.
Ways to run a day/night ASMR schedule
One continuous broadcast with scheduled source changes
For one ongoing 24/7 program, arrange for the playout or encoder setup to change which ASMR audio program feeds its single outgoing audio stream at the times you choose. You might pair each audio segment with matching visuals, or keep the visuals constant while changing the sound. The source change happens before the signal reaches YouTube; YouTube’s documentation does not prescribe a particular automation tool or ASMR workflow.

- Read Before You Buy — No Video Output: These adapters support charging and USB 2.0 data transfer, but cannot transmit video signals. Except for standard USB webcams (which use USB data only), they are not compatible with HDMI/DisplayPort cables, video-capable USB-C hubs, or docking stations with video output.
- Convert USB-A Ports to USB-C: Designed to connect USB-C earphones, cables, flash drives, card readers, and other USB-C accessories to standard USB-A ports. Plug-and-play with no drivers or software required.
- Aluminum Alloy Housing: Built with a sturdy aluminum alloy shell that aids in heat dissipation and protects against daily wear and scratches. Designed to maintain a stable and secure connection.
- Compact & Travel-Friendly: The ultra-compact design allows the adapter to stay plugged into your device without blocking adjacent ports or adding bulk, reducing wear and tear on your original USB ports.
- 12-Month Warranty: Backed by a 12-month manufacturer warranty for peace of mind. Designed to meet strict quality control standards for reliable everyday performance.
This approach best matches a single uninterrupted live channel. Plan and test the handoff between sources, including what viewers will hear during the transition.
Separate scheduled broadcasts
YouTube Studio supports scheduling a live stream and connecting an encoder when it is time to go live. You can schedule distinct events for different programs, but each event is separate from changing audio inside one continuous 24/7 broadcast; event boundaries may interrupt the experience or send viewers to a different watch page. YouTube’s Live Streaming API also documents scheduled and recurring broadcasts as well as a continuous-stream scenario. Google for Developers: LiveStreams

Viewer-selectable live tracks
Do not plan on viewers choosing between concurrent day and night ASMR tracks in the YouTube live player on the basis of the reviewed ingest documentation. It describes one audio stream for the ingestion stream, and the reviewed YouTube Live material does not document a control for selecting time-of-day tracks.
How to plan the switch reliably
- Choose the programming model. Decide whether viewers should stay on one continuous watch page or move between separately scheduled events. For a seamless 24/7 channel, use one broadcast and switch the source upstream.
- Define the schedule and time zone. Specify exact change times and the time zone they refer to. YouTube does not automatically choose a track based on each viewer’s local time.
- Configure the playout or encoder. Set up the upstream workflow to feed one audio program at a time to the encoder. YouTube supports encoder-based streaming, including software and external hardware encoders; a dedicated hardware encoder is not inherently required. The exact switching controls depend on the chosen source, playout system, and encoder.
- Check audio settings against your setup. YouTube’s encoder guidance recommends 44.1 kHz for stereo audio or 48 kHz for 5.1 surround, with recommended audio bitrates of 128 Kbps for stereo or 384 Kbps for 5.1. These are YouTube recommendations; confirm that they match your encoder and selected ingestion protocol. YouTube Help: Encoder settings
- Test the full transition before relying on it. YouTube recommends testing with audio and movement similar to the intended stream and monitoring stream health during the event. Check that the outgoing audio changes when expected, that levels are suitable on both sides of the handoff, and that the broadcast remains healthy.
- Monitor the live ingest. Watch the encoder and YouTube stream-health status around scheduled transitions. A schedule is only useful if the upstream switch occurs and the resulting single audio feed continues to ingest correctly.
YouTube also documents HLS as an alternate ingestion protocol with its own codec, latency, and setting requirements. Choosing HLS does not establish support for viewer-selectable multiple live audio tracks; follow the requirements for the protocol and encoder you actually use. YouTube Help: Encoder settings

What encoder listings do—and do not—tell you
YouTube’s encoder directory lists the CamStreamer App as supporting both 24/7 continuous streams and scheduled live streams. It also lists AJA HELO Plus as a hardware encoder and describes optional multichannel-audio workflows and AJA PlayToStream for scheduling prerecorded media to YouTube Live without a computer. Those are directory descriptions of vendor capabilities, not proof that a particular product performs the exact timed ASMR source switch you need. Check the current product documentation for the specific workflow before choosing hardware. YouTube Help: Live streaming encoder settings and features

If your ASMR program is made from uploaded videos, StreamNeo keeps a YouTube channel live 24/7 from the cloud: upload a recording or build a playlist, add your YouTube stream key once, and go live. It loops uploaded videos; it does not go live from a camera. For day/night programming, arrange the playlist or uploaded program so the intended content plays at the intended times. This is not a viewer-selectable multitrack feature.
