YouTube implemented Live Redirects a few years back as a method for creators to hold live streams that ended by directing viewers to another video on their own channel for premiere events, such as BTS engaging fans before revealing a new music video. It has now updated Live Redirects so that when a live streamer goes down, their audience is redirected to another Livestream. One of the first large events to take advantage of the new addition will be the premiere launch event for the film Top Gun: Maverick on Wednesday.
