### Cause

This issue typically occurs due to the following technical or policy-related reasons:

1.Temporary Platform API Rejection:&#x20;

* When a streaming platform's server (e.g., YouTube) temporarily denies access, often returning a "Forbidden" error.

2.Age Restrictions & Identity Verification:&#x20;

* According to platform policies, broadcasting may be restricted for accounts under the age of 14 or those that have not completed identity verification.

3.Channel Data Synchronization Errors:&#x20;

* Specifically occurs when an error arises while refreshing SOOP channel information, often because the data format provided by the platform cannot be processed normally.

4.Authentication Session Errors:&#x20;

* When login information does not match the platform's server due to temporary network instability or expired sessions.

### Solution

**1.Re-register Broadcast Information & Restart the App**

Most "unknown errors" are caused by temporary network glitches.

* Close the live information window and try **registering the broadcast information again** after a few moments.
* If the problem persists, **completely close and restart the PRISM app** before trying again.

**2.Verify Account Age & Identity Verification**

The PRISM PC app complies with each platform's operating policies. Generally, live streaming is available for users **aged 14 and older.**

* Check the account settings of your platform (YouTube, Twitch, NAVER, etc.) to ensure **identity verification** is complete.
* Verify that your account's **age information** is correctly set to 14 or older.

**3. Specific Solutions for SOOP Channel**

If the error occurs specifically while syncing with the SOOP channel, please follow these steps:

* Log in to the SOOP website directly and verify if the dashboard page opens normally and if there are any issues with your account status.
* In the PRISM settings, **Disconnect** the SOOP channel. **Log in again** to reconnect the channel, then restart the PRISM app and try again.

**4.Re-login to the Live Platform Account**

Refreshing your account's authentication session can resolve connection conflicts.

* Go to the channel management menu in the PRISM app and **log out** of your current account.
* **Log in again** to reconnect the channel and attempt to start your live stream.

### Additional Information

If the issue continues even after following all the steps above, a detailed log analysis may be required.

* **Contact Us:** Please reach out to us via the **PRISM info(i) > Contact us** menu at the bottom right of the app.
* **Note:** When submitting an inquiry, providing the **name of the platform** you are using and the **exact time the error occurred** will help us assist you much faster.
