How To Connect YouTube In SoMePoster Tutorial – SoMePoster

Connecting YouTube requires setting up your own OAuth app in Google Cloud Console first — YouTube doesn't offer a simple API key like some other platforms. It takes a few extra steps, but only needs to be done once.

Enable the APIs & Services Panel

Go to Google Cloud Console. Create a new project (or select an existing one), then go to APIs & Services → Enabled APIs & Services → + Enable APIs and Services.

Step 1: Enable APIs and services in Google Cloud

Create OAuth Credentials

Go to the Credentials tab and create OAuth Credentials.

Step 3: Create OAuth client ID credentials

Configure the Consent Screen

If it's a new project, you'll be asked to configure the Consent Screen — this also appears if you try to create an OAuth client ID before it's set up. Fill in the basic app information, set the Audience to External, and finish the setup.
