YouTube Gaming is just as good as Twitch when it comes to streaming games, but it still ha s along way to go before it has as many users. Fortunately, a new feature was added to the app yesterday that should speed up the growth of its userbase quite a bit: mobile streaming. That’s right, the feature is called Mobile Capture, and it allows you to not only record and stream what you’re playing on your smartphone, you can even use your front-facing camera to record yourself as well.

Ever since the new platform’s launch in August, YouTube Gaming has been pretty well received in the game streaming community. Today the Android version of the application is getting quite the update, bringing a new feature to the platform that will likely make mobile users quite happy. Now anyone with an account will be able to record and live stream mobile gameplay on-the-go, directly from your Android device. Google is calling this feature Mobile Capture. The best part? You don’t even need any extra hardware or software to get this feature working. All you need to do is tap the Go Live button (or your avatar in you’re on a smartphone) in your YouTube Gaming app, turn on your front-facing camera and start recording your commentary with your phone’s microphone. What’s more, a select number of YouTube Gaming creators will now be able to add sponsorships to their channels. Google says it will be adding to the list of channels overtime, so be on the look out for that if you’re interested.
