You need to create a sensor in the configuration.yaml file or add a link to the file where the YouTube sensor is recorded.
In my case, I added the following lines to the configuration.yaml:

homeassistant:
packages: !include_dir_merge_named includes/packages

Place the youtube_sensors.yaml file in the packages folder.
In the youtube_sensors.yaml file, in the resource_template: template, enter your Youtube API key (YOURS_API_KEY) and channel ID (YOURS_UID).

Create your automation. I added my automation to the automations.yaml file. In this file, set your AWTRIX MQTT prefix in topic: instead of awtrix_565c3c.
Do not forget to download the icons mentioned in the project: 10835, 10519 і 9452.
