Live Streaming to YouTube stopped working

We have Live Streaming to Youtube enabled in our profile, but about 2 months ago Live Streaming to Youtube stopped working.  We receive the following error message with trying to live stream to Youtube.  "Please grant necessary privilege for live streaming"  We have verified that this is enabled in our profile as well as the user account.  We have toggled this feature on and off, but have not been able to resolve the issue.  We are able to go to Youtube and live stream without any issues.  The problem appears to be an interface issue between Zoom and Youtube.  Is anyone else having this problem?  If so, have you been able to resolve it?

    Having same issue - even though it is enabled in ZOOM. We tested on June 17 2022 and it worked fine.

    Testing now - geting the Please Grant error.  Were you able to resolve?

    I have the same issue on some computers. I have a few steps that sometimes work. Sometimes one step works, others it takes several before I find the right issue.

    1. Clear your browser cache. Close all browser windows and start over.

    2. Log out of youtube, then log back in as part of the live streaming process.

    3. Sometimes streaming to a different channel works, then come back and stream to the correct channel (huge hassle, ugh)

     

    None of them are foolproof. The privileges it wants are the ones that should happen the first time you try to connect zoom to youtube... something along the lines of allowing zoom to access and change your settings. It's a youtube step that happens any time you try connecting a new app or service to youtube, but it's not a setting in youtube or zoom, it's a one time authorization. If you use the add to google calendar button, it's the same thing, or at least similar... like the image below.

    Thanks for your assistance.

    I finally got it to work. I had to disable Zoom access to YouTube (using the YouTube settings) and then try again.... it worked!

    I am having the same issue "Please grant necessary privilege for live streaming" the problem is not with Youtube, I already talked to them. the probblem is with zoom, I already submitted a ticket, because i do not have live chat support anymore. Let's wait and see what is the solution for this.

    I have been talking to customer service via email, and I finally found the solution for this problem. You need to go to your google account and de-authorize zoom app. and that is all you need to do. We tried many different steps and none of those worked. Deleting zoom app from authorized apps in your google account fixes that problem.

    You click on your picture on the google and click manage your google account, then go to data and services, and from the list, choose "apps and services" and then click third party apps with account access, click on the zoom app and delete it. that will solve the problem.
