Creating Broadcast with snippet and status I.e insert method.
Creating Live Stream with cdn (1080p, rtmp) and snippet with I.e insert.
Binding these together with broadcast bind method.
When I go to my https://www.youtube.com/my_live_events it is showing new event created, but I am not getting where is cam missing to use live streaming.

Answer 1

When you create your Live Stream object in step 2, an ingestionAddress will be returned in the response under cdn -> ingestionInfo. This is your RTMP endpoint where you need to send your video, using the streamName returned as the stream key.
Your response will look something like this (I've obfuscated some of my personal YouTube info):
{
cdn = {
format = 480p;
ingestionInfo = {
backupIngestionAddress = "rtmp://b.rtmp.youtube.com/live2?backup=1";
ingestionAddress = "rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2";
streamName = "xxxxxx";
};
ingestionType = rtmp;
};
etag = "\"xxxxxx\"";
id = "xxxxxx";
kind = "youtube#liveStream";
snippet = {
channelId = "xxxxxx";
description = "";
publishedAt = "2015-04-15T14:33:43.000Z";
title = "live_stream_test";
};
}
