Osama,

Yes, you can stream live to YouTube. When you start a Hangout, there is an option to “Enable Hangouts On Air” below the fields for inviting people and the Hangout name.

Once the Hangout was started, I think you cannot turn on or off the YouTube live stream. At least I have not found the option, yet.

what is meant by “can’t turn off the live stream?”

I believe you have to close the Hangout to stop the live stream, but I am not sure.
