Hi Vivek Komarla Bhaskar ,

Thank you for reaching out on Microsoft Q&A!

Looks like you can leverage the YouTube API for this purpose. Not as trigger though, and not using the built-in actions. However, you can perform a request using the HTTP action while building the URL as follows:

GET https://youtube.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=liveStreamingDetails&id=[YOUR_VIDEO_ID]&key=[YOUR_API_KEY] HTTP/1.1

Authorization: Bearer [YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN]

Accept: application/json

Please find the full documentation below:

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/list

Keep in mind that you should also authenticate first, which can also be done using a HTTP action. Documentation for YouTube authentication can be found here:

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/guides/authentication

@Vivek Komarla Bhaskar Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

Currently the Youtube connector supports only below set of triggers only and it doesn't support any actions.

I would suggest you raise a feedback request here. Our engineering team will be actively monitoring this forum and check the feasibility accordingly.

Feel Free to reach back to me if you have any further questions on this.
