Latest Raspbian has a useable ffmpeg in the repos. Simplest way might be to
use it to livestream to Youtube "Go Live" with unlisted setting (I presume
it needs to be private, unlisted is not quite the same but acceptable I
think). Or see
https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/youtube-live-streaming-docker/ (also the
comments) which might be outdated because of the switch to Raspbian
Stretch.

Of course the Raspberry Pi camera is rather limited and has no sound. So
you probably want to relay a stream from another source? I'm sure it can be
done but forget about encoding on the fly. Think seriously about skipping
the Pi.
