Thank you for asking this questions on the AWS Elemental MediaLive forums, you can stream MP4 files from S3 to Youtube, below are several links to documentation on how to do this:

Zach,

Great thank you! I had previously checked out these links and failed to get the stream to work as I keep getting the error "aws medialive Attempted to follow input resolution 3840 x 2160 for video_description [1]. This exceeds cap of 1920 x 1920.". However, I will continue to try. Thank you for your feedback and help!

Best,
Hannah

Hi Hannah,

For your input settings do you have it set for UHD since you are using a 4k input?

Hi Zach,

Thank you again for all of your help, I just changed the input specification to all of the Maximum values including UHD. However, I still obtained the same error but thank you for the suggestion!

I thought that I responded, but I meant to thank you for all of your help! That ended up working.
