I watched a video on YouTube about adding Google Sheets as a Data Source to vMix. I created my Google Sheet and got the link, created my Google API key. When I try and add everything to vMix I get a 403 Forbidden error message. HELP!!!!

I only learned about Data Sources today, and I had the SAME problem.

You have to ensure you ENABLE the Google Sheets API. It's not enough to generate an API key. If the Google Sheets API isn't enabled, it won't work.

Go into your Developer Console and choose your project, then click ENABLE API'S AND SERVICES... select GOOGLE SHEETS API, and click ENABLE.

That should be it. Put your API key into the Data Sources Manager and away you go.


(Oh yes, you also need to ensure that your GOOGLE SHEET share link is PUBLIC not PRIVATE)
