Not by itself, according to Switchboard Live’s current documentation. Switchboard expects an encoder or streaming app to send it video; that upstream source must handle the playlist and repeat the videos. Switchboard can then forward the incoming feed to YouTube. Its documentation says prerecorded video can be used when the encoder supports it, and that Switchboard does not store prerecorded files.
Which part handles the video loop?
The setup has two jobs. Your encoder or playback source sequences the prerecorded videos and repeats them. Switchboard receives that live feed and delivers it to the destination you select, such as YouTube. Switchboard’s FAQ says prerecorded videos are usable if the encoder supports them, but does not describe a built-in playlist-repeat setting. Switchboard’s prerecorded-video FAQ also says it does not store prerecorded videos.

So, configure the multiple-video playlist and continuous repeat in the software or encoder sending the video. Then route that output through Switchboard. The exact playlist controls depend on the encoder you choose; Switchboard’s cited materials do not give version-specific instructions for configuring a repeating playlist in any particular encoder.

- Prepare your playback source or encoder. Set up a source that can play the prerecorded files in sequence and repeat them. Switchboard lists OBS, Zoom, vMix, LiveU, Ecamm, and Blackmagic as examples of software or encoders users may have ready; support for a particular playlist format or loop behavior should be checked with that tool’s own documentation. Switchboard’s initial setup guide
- Connect the encoder to your Switchboard workflow. Enter the workflow’s Stream URL and Stream Key in the encoder so it sends its output to Switchboard.
- Start the source and verify the incoming feed. Confirm that the video appears in Switchboard’s confidence monitor and that the workflow shows a receiving status before starting the destination.
- Send the workflow to YouTube. Select the YouTube destination and press Go Live, following the steps in Switchboard’s YouTube connection instructions.
Encoder settings in Switchboard’s setup guide
Switchboard’s guide gives general recommendations of CBR, a two-second keyframe rate, and 30 or 60 FPS. These are general setup recommendations, not a guarantee that every YouTube format or encoder requires those exact values. Choose settings appropriate to your workflow and confirm them against the encoder and YouTube requirements that apply to your stream.

Autostart does not create a playlist loop
Switchboard describes Autostart as starting destinations automatically when streaming software begins broadcasting. That can automate the destination-start step; the feature description does not say it creates or repeats a playlist, or restarts an ended broadcast. The video source still needs to manage playback and repeat behavior. Switchboard Live’s feature overview
Or let it run in the cloud
If your goal is a continuously running YouTube channel rather than routing an encoder feed through Switchboard, StreamNeo is a separate cloud option: upload your prerecorded video or build a playlist, add your YouTube stream key, and go live. StreamNeo loops the uploaded videos from the cloud, so nothing has to stay on at home. The uploaded video streams as made, up to 4K 60fps, at one flat price per slot; it can automatically recover if YouTube drops the stream. The first day is free with no card. Monthly service is $9.99 per month.
