Google YouTube API v3 fails

YouTube Data API: Upload Video

An error prevented the upload from completing.

I have copied the example code to upload a video to youtube and I have installed my client_secret.json file and it does present me with a choice of which account to use.

The only other change was to place the actual name of the video file

Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

After much searching I eventually then answer here. It turns out there was nothing wrong with the code but in order to upload to an account you MUST have created a YouTube Channel. While I can understand the restriction, it does occur to me that it could return a much more meaningful response. Judging by the amount of conversation it seems I am not the only one who had this problem.
