How can i mirror live streaming youtube video

There are youtube streamers, that have a few of views, i want to help them out. I want to be able to mirror a live streaming video on my own channel in "featured" pane. How can i do it? Standardly i can put a url link to a video currently being streamed, but it would aftertime end, and i would have to add other url of a currently live streaming manually. I would want to put some kind of code to automatically pick a live streaming video. The code could do such: login in my youtube account, detect a live stream on a specified channel, copy url address into "For returning subscribers".
Help!
