Livestreams are now easier to find on YouTube #Shorts

Explains the live indicator in the YouTube app and how viewers can directly access ongoing streams through it.

Transcript

Since the last YouTube Mobile update, there’s an indicator whenever a Creator is live. If you see a red circle with the word “Live” around a profile picture, there’s a live stream currently running on the associated YouTube channel. Clicking on the Creator’s profile picture will take you directly to the stream. This works anytime you see this symbol: in suggested videos, your home feed, or YouTube search.
