Private versus unlisted event, and custom versus quick setup

- Next, I'll choose to make this event private for testing purposes. I could have chosen unlisted as well for testing, the difference being if someone had the address, they could join. But the odds that anyone could find out what it is without you giving it to them is very, very low. A private event, however, is by invitation only, for viewers with a Google Plus account. Once you choose private, you can add people from your Google Plus circles, extended circles, friends, family, acquaintances, et cetera. But if we don't invite anybody then it's just us. Now, finally, we're going to choose an event type. If you choose quick, that will let you livestream a Google Hangouts event using your webcam. Custom, however, gives you more encoding options and you can livestream a YouTube event with the ability to use custom encoders and controls.
