Description
As far as I know youtube and youtube-live is handled the same way on the site atm, i.e. we use the randomly generated youtube-live IDs for streams that change every time a broadcast goes live. Instead, investigate if it's easy to support embedding youtube-channel-id/live (or youtube-channel-name/live ?), e.g. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAABafdftW1s-6TQSl-z9TA/live so people don't have to change the URL every time.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how YouTube Live URLs and stream IDs are parsed and embedded, then verify whether a channel's permanent /live URL can resolve across broadcasts. Done means a channel ID or name URL can be used without manually changing it for each new stream.
