• read stream from webcam "MediaStream"
• ingest the mediaStream to RTMP server
• basically need an RTMP converter

or any other way to achieve the same broadcast video from webcam to youtube live.

I have built a Node backend that takes the MediaStream from your webcam and converts it to RTMP with FFMPEG - which can then be ingested at Twitch or YouTube Live In my example, I am using api.video in the code to create live streams. You can try it out, and the code is on Github:

It is really lightweight (the demo is running on an AWS Micro instance). In the demo, you can adjust the size (dimensions and framerate) of the video - but as you increase the dimensions, you are more likely to hit uplink issues if your network is slow or has high latency.
