Category FAQ
Category FAQ
Where do the live camera locations come from?
From geolocated YouTube live streams with per-camera metadata: title, country, category, live status, concurrent viewer counts, thumbnails and embed URLs.
How current is the live status?
is_live and concurrent viewer counts reflect the last data refresh. Individual streams start and stop continuously, so treat counts as a snapshot.
Where can I watch the streams?
Playback is available on TV Atlas (https://tvatlas.app/live-cameras) — open a camera on the map here, then follow the watch link to view the live stream.
