Command/Code used

Otherwise, if using the python module, provide the following:

1. A minimal reproducible example:

channel_id = "UC_vMYWcDjmfdpH6r4TTn1MQ"

## Additional context/information
I think this might be due to the youtube updating their platform and adding the handles. Might worth looking into it

I'm encountering this issue too. It's probably due to Youtube's recent UI changes. A workaround for this is to extract the videoid from the youtube channel /live link

For example with curl and grep:

videoId=$(curl -s https://www.youtube.com/c/"$channelid"/live| grep -o -E '\{"videoId":"[a-z0-9A-Z_-]{11}' | head -1)
videoId=${videoId:12:11}

Yes it it is because of YouTube UI's changes. Other libraries, like pytube, also have the same problem currently. Fortunately, there are some PRs with fixes, like https://github.com/pytube/pytube/pull/1409

Would one of you like to make those changes here and submit a PR?

What about adding support for /live urls and then just use that to get the livestream for when a channel url is entered instead of parsing the channel page?
