Additional information

Restricted mode gives the same result.

I believe if you are using a VPN you will get that error.

I have the same problem and that’s what I found was causing it. But if it can be resolved, I’d like to know.

I haven’t been able to reproduce this problem.
Yes, YouTube may block access from vpns.
