OBS Primary and Backup Stream

I created a youtube Livestream with obs. I have a primary and a backup stream. When an issue occurs (for example when i have connection issues) my backup stream image is appearing to youtube stream (my backup stream is in another place). When i solve the issue i have to manually bring the primary stream back. Is there any way for my primary stream to come back online automatically?

Thanks in advance.

In conclusion: My backup stream image is appearing automatically after an issue occurs (thank god) but when the issue is resolved the backup stream image remains (So i have to be present and bring back the primary stream manually). Is there any configuration that ll do the work automatically?

Don't mean to thread jack, but could you guys point me in the right direction to learn how to do that? (set up a backup stream, that is)

Good luck
I'm suspecting your question should be directed to YouTube (as it is not an OBS question/issue)... though certainly other OBS users maybe able to advise.. so hopefully someone will chime in
- sorry I don't live stream to YouTube, so can't answer specifically. In a typical DR scenario, a level of manual control is often desired to avoid rapid flipping of connections depending on failure source...

@idislikebrian - a second stream can be setup exact like 1st, or a simple screen/message indicating technical issue, be right back..
As issue is often Internet connection, 2nd stream should use alternate Internet connection. Do you have adequate backup power? if not, 2nd stream should definitely be alternate location. It's all about what failures do you want to be able to accommodate (power, ISP, etc)
