Why asks user to login with google account to use youtube upload?

Hey @stojankukrika,

Thanks for using the package.

The authentication routes are used for the initial setup of the package itself, so you would login when you first install the package and then you wouldn't be required to authenticate again as the package handles the tokens for you automatically.

Or are you trying to upload to multiple channels?

[stojankukrika]

No, I tr to upload only one channel but surprise me when I go to page where upload video and he asks me to login with google account. I don't know do my users need to have it to upload or just first time to me? Because I see that I need to generate token, and visit route that generate ans save token from youtube and get back user to upload video. Is that OK or I missed something?

Why are you asking users to log in? Only you need to log in with account that owns the YouTube channel you're uploading to.

It's up to you how you want users to send you the videos to upload, you don't need to ask them to login to upload...

How to do that? I want to thy didn't need to login to youtube. Only to my system and it's will be the perfect scenario.
I find here where and how to get that token to upload video.

Do I need to do that? Or how to fix it?

Firstly, your users should not be going to the /youtube/auth route. This is only for you to authenticate your channel.

In your case, you would want your users to upload the files to your server. Then your application will upload them to YouTube (I recommend using queues for uploads).

If you want users to have an account to upload a video to your application then that's down to you to set up. There's no reason for them to hit the /youtube/auth route.
