Title: Issue with PATCH Request for Updating YouTube Video Privacy Status via API

Context:

I am attempting to change the privacy status of a YouTube video from public to unlisted using a PATCH request.

• Endpoint:
  https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=status
• Method:
  PATCH
• Authorization:
  I am using a valid Bearer token with the youtube.force-ssl scope.
• Request Body:

  {"id": "rOWGJjUUZ6Q","status": {"privacyStatus": "unlisted"   }}

What I Tried:

1. Verified the Video ID:
   I confirmed that the video ID rOWGJjUUZ6Q exists by making a successful GET request to retrieve the video’s current status:

   GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=status&id=rOWGJjUUZ6Q

2. Made a PATCH Request to update the video’s privacy status:

   PATCH https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=statusAuthorization: Bearer ya29.a0AcM612w9X_EA90n_64XLBguIa_HMwqKpyK9TbZAnm-ky0CaSNzVGzivkmO9Vv_NJlhJziKWLNdEMoTpx5pE8vGjrPePBJmgIFqS2blQjWJsveSjsEeP7qKb8erKHqLvLoXUUZKccLgQQnGjidjTiH1vHhJi4JsnHhe2SoIfMagaCgYKAd8SARASFQHGX2MiAKjW6kcC6NjkyoI_Inm76A0177Content-Type: application/json{"id": "rOWGJjUUZ6Q","status": {"privacyStatus": "unlisted"  }}

What I Expected:

I expected the video’s privacy status to change from public to unlisted and receive a 200 OK response confirming the update.

What Happened:

Instead, I received a 404 Not Found response, even though the video ID is valid, the video exists, and the OAuth token has the necessary scope for modifying video status.

Minimal Reproducible Example:

1. Request:

   PATCH https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=statusAuthorization: Bearer ya29.a0AcM612w9X_EA90n_64XLBguIa_HMwqKpyK9TbZAnm-ky0CaSNzVGzivkmO9Vv_NJlhJziKWLNdEMoTpx5pE8vGjrPePBJmgIFqS2blQjWJsveSjsEeP7qKb8erKHqLvLoXUUZKccLgQQnGjidjTiH1vHhJi4JsnHhe2SoIfMagaCgYKAd8SARASFQHGX2MiAKjW6kcC6NjkyoI_Inm76A0177Content-Type: application/json{"id": "rOWGJjUUZ6Q","status": {"privacyStatus": "unlisted"  }}

2. Response:

   {"error": {"code": 404,"message": "Not Found","errors": [      {"message": "Not Found","domain": "global","reason": "notFound"      }    ]  }}
