How to embed a livestream permanent link?

[izabelpletsch]

I want to embed a livestream using the permanent livestream link, that is "https://www.youtube.com/embed/live_stream?channel=CHANNELID". Unfortunatelly, everytime i try to do this i get the message "unavailable video". What can i do?

@izbpletsch The YouTube Player API only supports referencing videos by the videoId property, so permanent links aren't supported.

In the end, what we did was manage that from the back with the youtube api and transform the data we had to the link that the front needs to make the representation and with sockets we manage the events of the player to inform the back about the behavior of the user regarding the video.

I believe youtube API has only 100 free hits. why pay for something that is free

That already corresponds to the company to pay, but it was the best decision for us because in the future work it was much easier with that api
