It can't possibly be illegal or against YouTube guidelines to record/save a video or even less explain how you do it.

Why dont you just use twitch for this one? Post the link on your website then post a short video announcing the move and updates will be posted on this site. This way youtube cant do anything about it .
That's against Youtube T&C as well (announcing streaming on another platform), big channels like Linus tech Tips have been striked for this.

I noticed an interesting discussing in the YouTube comments for this video, I thought it was worth mentioning here as well:
YouTube hosts videos that are CC, hence by law you are allowed to download them. If YouTube does not provide a link and does not allow you to use third party tools, they are in breach of the law and that would invalidate their terms of services on this point.
Would it be illegal to announce a stream, without specificying the how and why?
Nothing about these things is illegal, but it may be against whatever rules you agree to when you sell yourself to Google/YouTube. They can then use whatever recourse is specified in said rules to punish, suspend or terminate anyone who breaches said rules.

The most pertinent point is that the world needs a bigger variety of large, viable streaming services.

Disallowing the mention of competitors comes awfully close to the stuff Microsoft got fined for big time. Where's the EU when you need it?

and yet game companies like runescape,wow,lol are allowed to make streams both at twitch and youtube same time.i dont get how companies are allowed do it and not normal people.
I think it would be good to establish that many people use "illegal" and "not allowed" interchangeably. It seems the official definitions define it as both "prohibited by law" and "against the rules". A hands ball in a game of soccer is called illegal, even though it's not against the law.
That is my point. In this case, the do matter. There is a big difference between violating some kind of arbitrary terms and guidelines in a user agreement and something actually being against the law.
It gets trickier if you sign a legally binding contract with some kind of clause that says you agree to be punishable, for example monetarily, for doing something forbidden by the contract rules. Sometimes there are laws which state you cannot actually waive some right or enforce some rule in a contract. This is where you need a lawyer.
A properly drafted non-compete agreement when you sell a business to someone that stipulates you will not open up a competing business for x years, or whatever, is legally binding. I'm not sure how well crafted the YouTube user agreement is for content creators and how the language specifies just precisely what you're agreeing to as far as exclusivity is concerned. Is there something in there that says you agree to use YouTube and YouTube only for your online presence? IANAL
It's a case of patato versus patato. They're both made up rules. One tends to come with a bigger stick you get beaten with.
If you have the bandwidth you can multi cast, but its not easy to setup, You cannot cross promote 3rd party services, the likes of twitch are YouTubes competition and there only doing what any company would do - try to make money and gain market share while retaining its customers
The main reason for YouTube giving strikes for showing how to use a downloader is simply, It's part of there premium service
Any contract which you are not free to negotiate, and which contains surprising terms, is considered a contract of adhesion. The law looks dimly on such antics.
...in legal circles, there’s something we call “The Google Rule.” The rule is this: Google never loses as a defendant. At least not in the U.S. Mainly because they hired the lawyers who literally wrote most of the laws they get sued under.

I think the content strike is totally ridiculous being that Dave has been on Youtube for how many years now? Shouldn't they take that under consideration
before bringing the hammer down on this nonsense
