It’s a **Google requirement** for users to login! The web application project will provide: `GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID`, `GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET`, and `GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI`. Activate the “YouTube Data API v3” in your project and add the scopes `openid`, ` email`, and `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly` for its consent screen. See more details in [Setting up OAuth 2.0](https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/6158849?hl=en). ### Access Scopes The scopes are used by Google to limit your application access to the user account data. Read more about [YouTube Data API](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/guides/auth/server-side-web-apps?hl=pt-br) scopes. ### Usage After you activated the plugin, then the plugin will automatically: * add the “Sign in with YouTube” button to the WordPress login page. See screenshot# 1. * add the “Revoke access” link to the WordPress profile page. See screenshot #2. ### License Subscriber Login for YouTube is open-sourced software licensed under the [GPL v2.0 or later](https://github.com/lcmaquino/subscriber-login-for-youtube/blob/main/LICENSE). ## Screenshots [⌊"Sign in with YouTube" button on the main WP login page.⌉⌊"Sign in with YouTube" button on the main WP login page.⌉[ “Sign in with YouTube” button on the main WP login page.

If not subscribed, the user gets rejected and account is not created, displaying a message to them that they have to be subscribed to your YT account to login or register. This is very handy in cases where your website is subscriber-only, but bear in mind that it doesn’t have a setting to turn sub-only “off.” That’s understandable since the plugin was made specifically for subscribers, but I do think more people can find utility with the plugin as just a YouTube OAuth login (just to simply verify the user is logging in via a YouTube account). Of course, you can use any OAuth plugin for this, but adding additional functionality could turn people toward this one specifically. Google will require manual verification when using the YTv3 scope, and uploading a video is part of the requirement. I was approved within a day, however. 5-stars, plugin works exactly as described.
