YouTube Streaming API says user is not enabled for live streaming

Question

I\'m using Google\'s YouTube API Explorer (alternate) to look up information on an arbitrary streaming broadcast.

No matter what I put into the id field

Answer 1

I had the same error message when trying to get Youtube Livestream status.

In my case I'm using 'Youtube Brand Account' and it's worth trying to switch the brand account as the authorized user. That worked fine. HTH
