Agora.io security token generated invalid (Golang)

Having problem getting security token generated from my server to work properly. I modified the basicLive.js of the demo in AgoraWebSDK-NG to work with my server. I'm using the Golang api provided by Agora to generate the token. Some information:

AppID: ---
App Certificate: ---
channel name: liveshow10
uid: 51495 (I assume Agora does not care about this as long as it is uint32)
token expiration seconds: 3600
generated token: 006cb08a5a2ddc049f79f29d9b52e5909b0IABKKxbI64sFWnkyEICQrL+0DeTsrN9ckKMkDj/oir36aV+tq536WyGcIgCHHmUFHNv6XgQAAQCsl/leAgCsl/leAwCsl/leBACsl/le

But I'm getting bunch of error in the console. I think it boils down to an authorization error the token generated somehow is invalid. Below is the browser console and thanks for any help:

For anyone following along, the issue was related to UID. In the above code the token is generate specifically for UID 51495 but in the Agora Demo, the JoinChannel method passes null as the UID value which tells the SDK to generate its own UID for that user.

When attempting to join a channel with a different UID than the one used to generate the token, you will receive an error.

If you want to generate a token that can be used by any user, you need to set the UID to 0 in the token generation, and then you can use any UID join the channel with this token.

Update: The UID 0 detail can be found in the Token Server API reference within the UID parameter description docs.agora.io/en/video/token_server#api-reference
