Problem. Moving an audience from a Premiere or stream to another event. Conditions. Sender has over 1,000 subscribers and no Community Guideline strikes; redirecting to another channel's stream needs that channel's permission. Method. In Studio hover the video, Edit, Redirect > Add; a live stream can redirect to a Premiere, and a Premiere can redirect when it ends (viewers are sent after the Premiere ends). The receiving channel sets who may redirect: subscribed channels (default, unless subscriptions private), all channels, or a specific list of up to 100. Live Chat tools (pin one message at a time, polls, Q&A) apply to Premieres as well as streams, and Q&A sessions appear in Chat Replay. Failure modes. The all-channels setting cannot be combined with the subscribed-channels setting or the manual list. Limitations. The page does not say what happens to the chat window at the moment of redirect.
