There is a type of Youtube video links that are considered invalid.

Example:
https://www.youtube.com/live/GN4g3Ur0QUU?feature=share

Do you know if this kind of url always redirects to a watch page?
For example:
https://www.youtube.com/live/<VideoId> -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<VideoId>

Unfortunately I've not found this kind of urls anywhere else

yes, the live url redirects to a normal watch?v= url as you specified in the example

These types of urls don't happen often because they are recorded livestreams and not many YouTubers do this.
Here you can find many examples of this url type: https://www.youtube.com/@Blocktrainer/streams

Remove the ?feature=share and it will work.

When you share a youtube short, youtube appends this to keep track of some internal analytics.
