No. A YouTube playlist can organize bhajan videos and loop them for someone watching, but it cannot send a live broadcast from your channel. To run a 24/7 bhajan stream, you need a video feed and a live-stream setup that sends it to YouTube, plus a plan to monitor and recover the stream.
Why a playlist loop is not a live stream
YouTube defines a playlist as a collection of videos. Its Loop control repeats playlist playback for a viewer; it does not send that sequence to the Live Control Room as a channel-originated broadcast. A live stream is a feed sent to YouTube by a streaming setup.
Autoplay is also a viewer-side feature: when enabled, it can play another related video after the current one ends. YouTube says autoplay stops after 30 minutes of inactivity on a mobile network or four hours on Wi-Fi. Neither playlist looping nor autoplay is a reliable way to keep your channel broadcasting around the clock.
What you need to broadcast bhajans continuously
- A video source: one recording or a prepared sequence of recordings.
- An encoder or supported live-stream service: YouTube describes an encoder as software or a hardware device that converts video into a digital format for streaming.
- Your YouTube stream details: the server URL and stream key from YouTube Live, entered in the encoder or service.
- Monitoring and recovery: someone or something needs to detect interruptions and restore the feed. YouTube recommends monitoring audio and video quality; no setup should be treated as guaranteed never to fail.
Set up a YouTube Live stream with an encoder
- Prepare the bhajan video or sequence. Check that you have the rights to use the recordings and visuals in a public broadcast. A playlist can help organize source videos, but the encoder or service—not the playlist—must send the live feed.
- Open YouTube Live Control Room and create or select a stream. Copy the stream URL and stream key shown for that stream. Keep the key private; anyone who has it may be able to send a feed to your channel.
- Configure the encoder. In its stream settings, enter YouTube’s server URL and stream key. Choose the video and audio settings supported by your encoder and the quality you intend to broadcast.
- Start sending the feed. Start the encoder’s stream. YouTube says the Live Control Room creates the watch page after the encoder begins sending video.
- Check the preview before relying on the broadcast. Confirm that the bhajan audio is clear, the picture is correct, and the stream is reaching YouTube. YouTube recommends setting up encoders in advance, reviewing the preview, testing failover where applicable, and continuously monitoring audio and video.
- Plan for interruptions. Decide who will notice a stalled or dropped feed and how it will be restarted. Test your reconnection or backup process rather than assuming a long broadcast will stay uninterrupted.
Choose between software and hardware encoding
YouTube documents both software encoders running on a computer and standalone hardware encoders. It does not name one as best for a 24/7 devotional channel. The practical choice depends on who will operate the setup and how you will handle failures.

| Consideration | Software encoder | Standalone hardware encoder |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Encoder software running on a computer | Dedicated encoding equipment |
| What to plan for | Computer power, software configuration, internet stability, and a restart or reconnection process | Equipment setup, power, internet stability, and a restart or reconnection process |
| Monitoring | Arrange for someone to check the outgoing feed and restore it if needed | Arrange for someone to check the outgoing feed and restore it if needed |
| How to decide | Choose if you can manage the computer and encoder software | Consider if you prefer dedicated broadcast equipment; hardware is not required |
Whichever route you choose, verify current YouTube compatibility and configuration before deployment, then test the actual audio and visuals in the Live Control Room preview.
What YouTube documents about 24-hour streams
YouTube’s encoder instructions say streams under 12 hours are automatically archived. That is an archiving statement, not a promise that a single stream can remain live indefinitely or without interruption. The guidance reviewed here does not establish an indefinite-duration guarantee. Confirm current YouTube limits and plan your schedule and recovery process accordingly.

Common problems and what to check
- The playlist plays, but the channel is not live: playlist playback is for viewers. Start a live feed from an encoder or another supported streaming setup.
- YouTube does not receive the encoder feed: check that the correct server URL and stream key are entered in the encoder’s stream settings, then confirm that the encoder is actually sending.
- The live preview has no sound or the wrong picture: check the encoder’s selected audio and video sources, then review the Live Control Room preview before depending on the stream.
- The feed stops or drops: check power and internet stability, then follow your tested restart or reconnection process. YouTube recommends ongoing monitoring rather than assuming the feed will run unattended without failure.
- A viewer’s playlist or autoplay stops: this is viewer playback, not a channel broadcast. Autoplay can stop after inactivity—30 minutes on a mobile network or four hours on Wi-Fi, according to YouTube Help.
