Hello,

I am writing to you today because I am experiencing an issue with the youtube-transcript-api and pytube packages, and I'm hoping you can help me resolve it.

I am trying to use the youtube-transcript-api package to extract transcripts from YouTube videos, but it seems that I am encountering problems related to my proxy settings. The package is not working as expected when I am behind a proxy server.

Additionally, I should mention that I am also using the Pytube library to gather basic information about the YouTube videos I am working with.

If you need any additional information or logs to assist in diagnosing the problem, please let me know, and I will be happy to provide them. Your assistance in resolving this issue would be invaluable to me.

Thank you in advance for your time and support. I look forward to hearing from you and hope that we can work together to find a solution to this problem.

You will not be able to access youtube from a free account. It's also possible that the protections that youtube have against scraping will prevent it from working with a paid account, too.
