gapi.hangout.onair.getYouTubeLiveId(); <br/>

but i am getting 'null' as the result. i tried gapi.hangout.onair.isBroadcasting();
but i am getting 'false' as the output in chrome browser console. i tried gapi.hangout.onair.isOnAirHangout();

According to API documentation, getYouTubeLiveId() returns the YouTube Live ID for the Hangout On Air. Returns null if the ID is not available or the Hangout is not a broadcast hangout. Also, off-hand, I'm not sure it will provide the ID to a non-HOST. It's worth it to try as both Host of HoA and Participant and see if there's a difference.

I'm happy to test with you if you like.
