The behavior you mention within this particular contribution is expected, when you go into the application I can see that you've not entered a valid YouTube Data API key (not even something which could be regarded as a spelling error and is clearly an invalid key) and because of this, the application is unable to check against it. I believe the on-screen notification which is shown when this occurs is expected and the way that the developer planned for this feature to work. For the purpose of testing this end to end I used my own YouTube data API key to test that it worked and upon successfully registering my Key within the application it accepted it and it worked as expected.

If you wish to test my investigation further you can find out more about getting started with the YouTube data API here:
