Expected Behavior

Possibility in the stream destination settings to select the channel/account where I want to stream to, just like in the Live Control Panel "Account switcher"

Current Behavior

the main channel of the connected account is selected - in my case livestreaming is not enabed for it and I get an error because livestreamin is not enabled. Using the brand rights management I can select the brand when connecting the youtube account. After switching to youtube studio rights management with granular rights (which was the whole point) I don't have the possibility in OBS to select the managed account as administrator.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Use YouTube Studio rights management for a brand account with youtube channel
  2. invite friend as administrator
  3. accept invitation as friend
  4. connect friend account in OBS and grant OBS rights
  5. login in Live Control Panel and see the brand account "you are an administrator"
  6. select event and see other events than in the brand account / create event and see it in your friends channel / your account is not activated for livestreaming
Anything else we should know?

Research direction

Start with OBS's stream destination settings and the YouTube account connection flow described in the issue, then compare them with YouTube Live Control Panel's Account switcher and the YouTube Studio rights-management behavior. Done means an administrator can select the managed channel when configuring a stream, rather than being limited to the connected account's main channel.
