hi, i'm currently trying to download audio from youtube, however it seems like downloading from any youtube link returns the same error message: "i can't access this video. it may be restricted on youtube's side. have you pasted the right link?"
i did a little bit of research and it seems like this issue has something to do with dummy youtube accounts that cobalt relies on to run, could refreshing them solve this issue? [#759 ]
reproduction steps
Go to youtube.com
Copy any video link from Youtube
Go to cobalt.tools
Paste link from Youtube
An error message should pop up saying "i can't access this video. it may be restricted on youtube's side. have you pasted the right link?"

I've been having the same problem, and it seems like this happened before so they should be able to fix it.
