I’m trying to set up YouTube video uploads in n8n.cloud, but I can’t connect my YouTube account. n8n only shows the YouTube OAuth2 API credential type, which forces the redirect URL to https://oauth.n8n.cloud/oauth2/callback. Google blocks this redirect for YouTube upload scopes, so I get errors like “Access blocked: app not verified” and “Error fetching options from YouTube” when loading categories or uploading videos. I believe I need access to the OAuth2 API credential type so I can use my own Google OAuth Client with a valid redirect URL, but that option does not appear in my workspace. How can I enable or access the OAuth2 API credential so YouTube uploads will work?
You cannot directly add YouTube uploads on n8n’s cloud platform because Google blocks it.
Do this instead:
- Contact n8n’s support team and explain the YouTube upload error.
- If you need it urgently, run n8n on your own computer or server. This allows you to use a custom Google setup that will work.
Kindly mark as the solution if this helps!
