"Google starts doing the same using youtube" is that confirmed or you feel inevitable?

I think is the natural choice. Their social network "Google+" failed, they are now implementing live streaming for games (after laughing about Twitch[1]) and already offer live hangouts. I'm sure the next step is to use Youtube ala Periscope/Meerkat, maybe with a standalone app. If they want to keep their influencers and Youtube pros they should offer this functionality to them but Facebook is ahead now.

google already has live streaming. They do it here and there, like music festivals, etc.
