Any help appreciated!
Hi @Anonymous
Have you solved this problem? Do you find any method to go through the cookie settings?

Hi @Anonymous
I cannot reproduce this. I used https://www.youtube.com/c/GuyinaCube/videos to test this. When I connected to this URL, in the Navigator window, the video information displayed well in the suggested table. And when I used Add Table Using Examples feature, it also worked as expected.
Is this the page you want to get data from? Maybe you can try launching IE and Edge browsers on the same computer, visiting the same youtube channel to go through the cookie settings in web browsers first. Then in Power BI Desktop, connect to the same Channel URL to get the data. Power BI Desktop seems to use Internet Explorer 11 as the web browser when doing the connections.
