Troubleshooting
- Ensure the session name provided exists and is accessible; otherwise, the creation will fail.
- Verify that the API key or authentication token is valid and has permissions to create channels.
- If using a proxy, confirm the proxy settings are correct and the proxy server is reachable.
- Timeout errors may occur if the server is slow or unresponsive; consider increasing the timeout setting.
- SSL certificate validation errors can be bypassed by enabling the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option, but this reduces security.
