Is This YouTube Channel Live Right Now?
Type a YouTube @handle or channel link to see if they're live, and get the live link.
Enter a YouTube @handle, channel link or channel id and this shows whether the channel is live right now. When it is, you get the live video link, the video id, the title and the number watching. Scheduled streams and waiting rooms count as offline.
The live video id is what chat bots, overlays and embeds need to connect to a YouTube stream. Nothing here needs a login and nothing is stored.
Questions
How do I get the live video id of a YouTube stream?
Enter the channel above while it's live. The Video ID field is the id, and the live link opens the stream.
Does a scheduled premiere count as live?
No. Only a stream that's on air right now shows as live.
