  4. Click on the “Enable” button to enable the Youtube Data API v3.
  5. Go to the “Credentials” tab and click on the “Create credentials” button.
  6. Select “OAuth client ID” from the dropdown menu.

Quota

Youtube has quota limits, you can follow them on the page:

For internal use, all the above settings are sufficient. If you only have a license for Mixpost Pro, you can skip this step. If you use Enterprise (SaaS), and you want your clients not to see this kind of alert:

You must pass the Google application verification.
