Platform

Windows 11

Steps to reproduce

  • Log into google account with multiple channels
  • Pass url of a private video from one of the non-default channels into youtube downloader
  • receive error message

Details

I'm trying to download private videos from my own channel. When I log into my google account via youtube downloader, it automatically switches to a different youtube channel from that google account and I have no further control over this.

The private download fails both with the regular link, as well as when shared via the "share" button beneath the video
