Answer 1

For anyone that comes across this, I had this error and fixed it by logging into YouTube as the main user, going to the top right and clicking 'Youtube Settings'. Then I clicked 'create channel'. Error gone!

Answer 2

This doesn't have anything to do with your code or program. It simply means you have not linked your Google account with Youtube, or vice versa.
I encountered the same problem too. But for me, I initially created a Google account, and even though when I went to Youtube.com I could see that I was logged it, but that did not mean that my Google account was actually linked to YouTube yet. So in my case, when I was on youtube.com, I actually clicked on my username in the upper right corner and did something...but basically it just prompted me to link YouTube to my Google account. When that was all done, it finally took me to my YouTube profile page. And then when I ran my program again, the "NoLinkedYoutubeAccount" error message was gone.
Give that a try. For you, it might be the opposite. Hope this helps!
