Could not retrieve a transcript for the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSuVCVhtqFo! This is most likely caused by:

Subtitles are disabled for this video


my code: 

def get_transcription_from_yt_video(video_url):

    # Extract video ID from URL
    video_id = video_url.split("v=")[-1]

    try:
        # Fetch the transcript
        transcript = YouTubeTranscriptApi.get_transcript(video_id)

        # Format the transcript with timestamps
        transcript_with_timestamps = [entry["text"] for entry in transcript]

        text = " ".join(transcript_with_timestamps)

        return text

    except Exception as e:
        print(f"An error occurred in get_transcription_from_yt_video: {str(e)}")
        raise

        version: 
        youtube-transcript-api = "^0.6.2"
