I use OBS as recording tool with YouTube Live Streaming as target.
Even though I don't intend to publish every screen recording I make.
I set videos to private so that I just save the recordings as is first.
Very few, after edits, get published to public. I can create much more public content in my field if there was an easy way (like OP) to correct mistakes and redact some content.
This saves a ton of local storage space for me. More importantly all important stuff is backed up to cloud and readily viewable by me on any device anywhere. I am loving this (will Google let me push this into TBs of free storage?)
I really wish there was either a capability that allows me to "pause" the recording on a live stream :) or otherwise easily edit, redact YouTube recordings after recording. The tools provided by YouTube (I am not a paying customer) are very rudimentary and barely useable performance-wise.
Good luck OP. Do you have any OBS plug-ins of similar kind in mind.
One important thing Youtube provides is the encoding. It is rather difficult to re-encode large volumes of videos efficiently unless you have a recent, multi-core desktop CPU.
This is definitely true, but if you have handbrake or similar, the hardware encode/decode in your CPU or GPU is actually pretty fast and good. This can be accessed via VAAPI, VDPAU, QSV and NVENC on linux (depending on your hardware), VideoToolbox on Mac, and also various options on Windows.
GPU encodes are far inferior to what YouTube provides. The bitrate is quite low and the quality acceptable for most purposes at higher resolutions. CPU is fast only if you are willing to have a fairly high bitrate, even with many cores.
