Thumbnail versus announcement image

These are different image controls. The image in Create Live Announcement is used for the announcement; it is not the YouTube thumbnail. Upload the thumbnail separately in Advanced Settings → Thumbnail. LiveReacting says the YouTube thumbnail is displayed while the stream is live or after it has been saved.

If the stream is already scheduled

One-time event

For a YouTube event already scheduled on YouTube, LiveReacting documents connecting to it through Advanced Settings → Connect to existing stream. Select the existing event from the dropdown; LiveReacting says this pulls information such as the title and description from the channel. Connect to an existing YouTube stream

Multi-date or repeat schedule

LiveReacting says the title and description cannot be edited after a multi-date or repeat schedule has been created. Its documented process is to cancel the scheduled streams, change the settings, and schedule them again. If the change should apply to all remaining streams in a repeating project, select Apply changes to all scheduled streams. Otherwise, a change may affect only the next stream, while the original scheduled settings may be restored for later streams. LiveReacting’s scheduling guidance and advanced scheduling guidance
