YouTube is no longer streaming from "play video" to "Live Streaming" (via YouTube)

What happened?

It used to be possible to do a live stream via YouTube (YT), and broadcast another YT video as part of that feed.

But, now it asks you to "log in", presumably Jitsi needs to log in.

More details?

Notes:

• The first video(s) may or may not work
• This happens despite the user being logged into YT themselves
• The people in the room can see the YT video, but the YT video is not being sent to the live broadcast

This is the error that's displayed for the viewer of the broadcast (but not for the people in the Jitsi room):

This is a change on the YouTube side, not much we can do about it I'm afraid.

I understand that may be the case, but I wanted to let people know about it.

If the issue persists, it may be worth a warning, so that users know not to try it.

Also, as a workaround, I wonder if screensharing a YT page with sound would work.

The workaround works indeed.
