Google+ Hangouts through YouTube it streams realtime.... then on youtube you see a "live" sign. You can embed player like for any recorded video but it is live. There was some stream events with more than 100,000 viewers at same time (I joined to see myself), imagine you had to pay wowza or fms server hosting for 100,000+ viewers for an hour, that would cost a fortune in bandwidth and servers. In fact it is amasing if free service.
Google hangouts in youtube was done by NASA, white house, a few musicians, politicians... normal Google+ Hangouts it shows only to up to 10 of your Google plus contacts if I understand. To broadcast to youtube thre's an option, but I am unsure if for unlimited viewers you need a deal with Google or not - seems not? I guess if more people learn to use it, will be an issue for realtime moderation for Google, anyone can stream live anything....
