I try to upload custom thumbnail for video.
Official documentation link: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/thumbnails/set
Used scopes for requested access token was:
https*://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl
https*://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtubepartner
https*://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile
https*://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email
https*://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube
https*://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload
Then i get response:
Error calling PUT https://www.googleapis.com/upload/youtube/v3/thumbnails/set?videoId=my_video_id&uploadType=resumable&upload_id=my_upload_id: (403) The authenticated user doesnt have permissions to upload and set custom video thumbnails.
I set all needed scopes and still have not permissions. How can i resolve it? Thanks.

Your YouTube account doesn't come with the ability to upload custom thumbnails by default. In order for your account to gain this ability, you need to first enable the custom thumbnail option.
It's probably because you haven't verified your account with a phone number. The issue is that you haven't verified the account with a phone number. Do that and you'll be able to upload the thumbnail.
In YouTube Data API v3, you can get video's thumbnails with the videos->list function. From snippet. thumbnails. (key), you can pick the default, medium or high resolution thumbnail, and get its width, height and URL.
I had the same problem. Found the solution:
Please verify your account by putting telephone number and enable "customised thumbnails" in your account's panel.
