AWS Kinesis Video Stream - Not accessible across region

I am trying to use Kinesis Video Stream in US East Region. Here is the error:

I tried from my local laptop sitting in Australia:

>>> import boto3
>>> client = boto3.client('kinesisvideo')
>>> response = client.list_streams()
Traceback (most recent call last):

Now, my first thought is Proxy. Though I know I am not using Proxy, I wanted to test. So in the same Python session I opened a DynamoDB session and it works file (As you can see I am using default region in both client calls, so the region is same)

>>> client = boto3.client('dynamodb')
>>> response = client.list_tables()
>>> response
{'ResponseMetadata': {'RetryAttempts': 0, 'HTTPStatusCode': 200, 'RequestId': 'B482K6CS533EBNHII70LP5S433VV4KQNSO5AEMVJF66Q9ASUAAJG', 'HTTPHeaders': {'x-amzn-requestid': 'B482K6CS533EBNHII70LP5S433VV4KQNSO5AEMVJF66Q9ASUAAJG', 'content-length': '58', 'server': 'Server', 'connection': 'keep-alive', 'x-amz-crc32': '1578827374', 'date': 'Tue, 06 Nov 2018 12:22:58 GMT', 'content-type': 'application/x-amz-json-1.0'}}, u'TableNames': [u'reference', u'run_status', u'sagemakerProps']}

Okay, so what next? I launched an EC2 in us-east-1 and tried this:

>>> import boto3
>>> client = boto3.client('kinesisvideo')
>>> response = client.list_streams()
>>> response
{u'StreamInfoList': [{u'Status': u'ACTIVE', u'StreamName': u'rekognitionStream1', u'CreationTime': datetime.datetime(2018, 11, 6, 12, 15, 39, 420000, tzinfo=tzlocal()), u'MediaType': u'video/h264', u'Version': u'9vVjpxmqoNGQqpR2KrKd', u'StreamARN': u'arn:aws:kinesisvideo:us-east-1:882790899507:stream/rekognitionStream1/1541506539420', u'KmsKeyId': u'arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:882790899507:alias/aws/kinesisvideo', u'DataRetentionInHours': 0}], 'ResponseMetadata': {'RetryAttempts': 0, 'HTTPStatusCode': 200, 'RequestId': '9229b236-7fb4-4fb1-b9c0-7d033035820b', 'HTTPHeaders': {'x-amzn-requestid': '9229b236-7fb4-4fb1-b9c0-7d033035820b', 'date': 'Tue, 06 Nov 2018 12:37:37 GMT', 'content-length': '392', 'content-type': 'application/json'}}}
>>> 

Voila!! It worked!!

So my conclusion is boto3 client for kinesis video does not work from other regions!!

Any workaround?
