What is YouTube Cross-Channel Live redirect?
As the name suggests, YouTube Live redirects allow the streamer to send the audience to another channel after his stream ends.
For example, if you are running a live stream, you want to send the audience to your friend’s channel to help him grow at the end of your stream.
After your stream ends, YouTube Autoplay will send the audience to another stream.
It is also helpful for YouTube as people will explore new channels and spend more time watching live streams on YouTube.
Your channel must have 1000+ subscribers to use live redirects. Also, you need approval from other channels before you send your audience.
Other channels can also send their audience to your live if you approve.
