How to use YouTube Live Redirect

You can send your live stream’s viewers to a Premiere to build excitement or send them to another channel’s live stream to help other creators grow.

Once your live stream ends, autoplay will move your viewers to the Premiere or live stream of your choice.

Note: To redirect your viewers to another channel’s live stream, that channel needs to give you permission from YouTube Studio. Learn more.
