 The following extractors use this feature:
 * **youtube**
     * `skip`: `hls` or `dash` (or both) to skip download of the respective manifests
-    * `player_client`: Clients to extract video data from - one or more of `web`, `android`, `ios`, `mweb`, `web_music`, `android_music`, `ios_music`, `web_embedded`, `android_embedded`, `ios_embedded`, `web_agegate`, `android_agegate`, `ios_agegate`, `mweb_agegate` or `all`. By default, `android,web` is used. If the URL is from `music.youtube.com`, `android,web,android_music,web_music` is used. If age-gate is detected, the `_agegate` variants are automatically added.
+    * `player_client`: Clients to extract video data from. The main clients are `web`, `android`, `ios`, `mweb`. These also have `_music`, `_embedded`, `_agegate`, and `_creator` variants (Eg: `web_embedded`) (`mweb` has only `_agegate`). By default, `android,web` is used, but the agegate and creator variants are added as required for age-gated videos. Similarly the music variants are added for `music.youtube.com` urls. You can also use `all` to use all the clients
     * `player_skip`: `configs` - skip any requests for client configs and use defaults
     * `comment_sort`: `top` or `new` (default) - choose comment sorting mode (on YouTube's side).
     * `max_comments`: maximum amount of comments to download (default all).
