This item does not work, use the Subscriptions item right below the menu

Finally it works, it's just that it's not the same account that I use on my PC.

Read the last paragraph of post #3006 about the need to sign in twice without being prompted. It looks like that’s your last hurdle.

What if I do not want to sign in. I have always used my own api keys but do not sign in to youtube and the addon used to work fine until about two weeks ago. Now with brand new api keys it lists all the sections and can browse through trending, live, completed live etc listings as befor, but it says "Sign in to confirm you are not a bot" when attempting playback of any listed video

Your question is getting beyond my knowledge but I am sure someone else will shortly be able to satisfy your query, however, my understanding is that recent changes now require not only new API keys to be obtained and put in a newly installed 7.2.0 beta 4 but also signing in twice otherwise the YT addon may not be used in Kodi. If this is incorrect I apologise.

I hope you get it working. I am delighted with how it performs now.

@MoojMidge here are the click by click steps to create the API key and OAuth client ID with a brand new Google (Gmail) account (i.e. not a Google Workspace account).
You may want to add this to https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.vide...l-API-Keys
I've got screen shots of all of this if wanted.

To get this working I had to use the 7.2.0 beta 4 add-on version and complete the sign in twice.

Have downloaded the latest beta version in the hope that it will fix the sign in error, as i'm already set up on cloud console.

However when trying to install i get a Python dependencies error, do i need to update Python?

You provide no: Kodi version
                        OS information
You stated: "..as i'm already set up on cloud console"  When were your API/keys created?

Help us help you please.

Is there a time limit on this API?
The reason I ask, after a full day of using Youtube and saved Youtube channels in FAVORITES, all of a sudden last night, everything stopped and the spinning circle took over. This morning tried again and nothing changed, still had the spinning circle on both Youtube subscribed channels as well as Favorites. I signed OUT and then back into the ADD-ON, logged back in and went through the two(2) verification checks. I now have again the Youtube working again along with FAVORITES. For some reason the FAVORITES does take a few minutes to load up though.

Just curious about the time limit! Everything is back working properly now though.
