Notes

YouTube uses a separate Google OAuth client from Google Business Profile.

Troubleshooting

Connection succeeds but no channel appears.

The Google account must already have a YouTube channel. If the account has never created a channel, YouTube will authorize successfully but FireBreath cannot connect it until a channel exists.

Uploads fail with quota or permission errors.

YouTube Data API quota is limited. Video uploads are quota-heavy, so verify your Google project still has quota available and that the app keeps youtube.upload enabled.
