YouTube does not natively support a continuous, automated “channel broadcast” feature that plays videos linearly loop-after-loop in a fixed order for viewers visiting your channel page. However, you can achieve an MTV-style linear stream using Live Streaming.
Method 1: 24/7 Continuous Live Stream (The True “MTV” Experience)
To broadcast a fixed, ordered video playlist continuous 24/7 like a TV channel, you need to run streaming software that plays your video files sequentially and feeds the live stream to YouTube.
What You Need
- Streaming Software: OBS Studio (free) or cloud-based software like StreamYard, Restream, or Live42.
- Server/Hardware: A dedicated computer, VPS (Virtual Private Server), or a cloud streaming platform to keep the stream running 24/7 without interruption.
