Hello friends, I want the video to play by searching the song names and the singer name generically on the youtube search section and clicking the image that comes after it. But the program gives "element not interactable" error. How can I play the video by clicking the incoming picture?

Try the below code :

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.maximize_window()
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
driver.get('https://www.youtube.com/')
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input[id='search']"))).send_keys("shakira waka waka")
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[id='search-icon-legacy']"))).click()
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "ytd-video-renderer.style-scope.ytd-item-section-renderer"))).click()
