How do I go about getting her YouTube to be available in my WiiM account? I tried logging in to her YouTube from my WiiM account and it came up with an error of not enough arguments (or something similar).
I'm guessing it won't let me use her account.
I don't want to setup another WiiM Home account for her and I couldn't find a way to add me to her YouTube.
Any workarounds for this?

There's no such thing as a WiiM account. You don't have to and you cannot register for a WiiM account. So, could you please explain in more detail what you did?

I suppose your are trying to log into your wife's YouTube Music account (which must be a premium account) from within the WiiM Home app. If so, the WiiM Home app has no way of knowing if your phone running the app belongs to you or your wife. As long as you provide the correct credentials, login should work.

If it doesn't there might be a temporary problem with Youtube Music itself.

If you're on Android you could also try to clear the WHA cache. On iOS you'd have to uninstall and reinstall the WiiM Home app.

I went through the process of trying to add YouTube as one of the music services. I tried using my basic YouTube account but failed since I don't have Premium. I tried using my wife's premium account but it gave an error, something to the effect of "not enough arguments". I believe because she's not in WiiM so I couldn't get the two linked up.
The attached screenshot is what made me think there is a WiiM account, since it looks like Google is telling me it's signing back in to WiiM Home.
