It works fine for me as of today.
Thanks for the reply, interesting as I've reverted back to your code and still had the same issue, I'll try a different account.
Thanks again
I'm getting Authorize this app by visiting this url:...
And when I try to autorize, it's
Access blocked: test has not completed the Google verification process
Clearly, I miss something on console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials
, but what's that?
Solution:

I had to add a test email on Oauth consent screen. (I tought I alreday added one)
You need to do the authorization using the project owner's account. Or else, you can add a test user and test things that way as you did.
If you are using oauth2 and already handling token creation part then here is a working snippet for uploading videos to youtube

const { google } = require('googleapis');
const categoryIds = {

Education: 27,

const thumbFilePath = '../thumb.png'

After following the provided url to login and performing all the steps , I get redirected to a localhost page but it just says " this site can't be reached" please help
@Shujaagideon I ran into the same problem too. "this site can't be reached" page is meant to be that way. Look into the URL that says "http://localhost/?code=**ThisIsTheCode**&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload" copy the code portion and paste into the command line to proceed. It took me a while to realize that's what they wanted. Hope this helps!
It doesn't work for me
any help pleaze.
Is this currently working for someone? My implementation was based of this, and it suddenly stopped working, as it was after having my quota extended I related to it, but it might have been something else.
