This thread centers on uploading videos to YouTube and the authentication error reported by . and suggested hosting locally as an alternative. For reliable results today, use the YouTube Data API v3 with OAuth 2.0 rather than older GData examples from 2010.

Practical checklist:

  • Enable the YouTube Data API in Google Cloud Console and create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID for a Web application.
  • Make the OAuth request use the exact redirect URI registered in the Console (scheme, host, path, port and trailing slash must match).
  • Use the upload scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload (uploading requires OAuth; an API key will not work).
  • Use the official Google PHP client or the quickstart flow to handle the auth code exchange, token refresh, and resumable uploads; that avoids many manual-encoding mistakes.

Common causes of an "invalid parameters" error on the Google auth page:

  • Redirect URI mismatch between the request and the Console entry.
  • Missing or incorrect scope or response_type.
  • Using deprecated endpoints or sample code that targets older YouTube APIs.
  • URL-encoding errors (spaces, ampersands, etc.) in the auth URL.
  • Including secrets in the wrong step (client_secret belongs in the token exchange, not the authorize URL).

See the YouTube upload guide and OAuth docs for step-by-step flows and PHP examples: Uploading a video guide, OAuth 2.0 for Web Servers, PHP quickstart.

Well why don't you upload them to your own site? That would be the ideal solution but if you wish to use youtube then post your code and the link to the tutorial you used and I shall attempt to debug it.
