Ogh’s YouTube integration lets you broadcast directly to your YouTube channel from your Android device. Once you connect your Google account, Ogh manages the entire broadcast lifecycle for you: it creates the live stream and broadcast, binds them together, and tears everything down cleanly when you stop. You do not need to set up a stream key or ingest URL — Ogh resolves those in memory each time you go live.
No Google Play Services or Google Sign-In SDK is required. Ogh authorizes through the system browser using the standard OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code flow with PKCE.

​
Connect your YouTube account

1

Open Settings > Platforms

From the Ogh Preview screen, tap the Settings icon, then tap Platforms.
2

Tap Connect next to YouTube

Tap Connect beside the YouTube entry to begin authorization.
3

Sign in and grant permission in your browser

Your system browser or a Custom Tab opens the Google sign-in page. Sign in to the Google account that owns the YouTube channel you want to stream from, then grant Ogh permission to manage YouTube on your behalf.
4

Return to Ogh

After you approve, Google redirects you back to Ogh automatically. Your channel name appears in Platforms to confirm the connection, and a YouTube destination is now available for your next session.

​
What Ogh does with your Google account

When you connect YouTube, Ogh requests the scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube. Ogh uses this permission exclusively to:
  • identify your YouTube channel;
  • create and configure a live broadcast and ingestion stream before each session;
  • bind the ingestion stream to the broadcast; and
  • manage the broadcast lifecycle — transitioning it to live when you start and completing it when you stop.
Ogh does not use your Google account data for advertising, analytics, profiling, or training AI models. Ogh does not transfer your data to any Ogh server or third party. Ogh’s use of Google API data adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Your YouTube ingest credentials are resolved in memory immediately before each session and are never written to disk.

​
Stream metadata

Before going live, you can set the following details for your YouTube broadcast in Settings: To update these, go to Settings and edit the stream details section before you tap Go Live.
Start with Private visibility while you verify your setup, then switch to Public or Unlisted for your actual audience.

​
Disconnect YouTube

1

Open Settings > Platforms

Tap the Settings icon from Preview, then tap Platforms.
2

Tap Disconnect next to YouTube

Tap Disconnect. Ogh sends a revocation request to Google, then deletes your local tokens and account record. The YouTube destination is removed.
You can also revoke Ogh’s access at any time from your Google Account connections page, independently of the in-app Disconnect action.

​
Troubleshooting

Authorization fails or the browser does not open. Make sure your default browser is set and can reach the internet. If you are using a browser that blocks third-party sign-in flows, try setting a different default browser and tapping Connect again. The YouTube destination is missing after connecting. Return to Settings > Platforms and check whether your account still appears as connected. If not, tap Connect to re-authorize. The broadcast is not visible on YouTube after going live. Check that the Privacy setting in Ogh’s stream details is not set to Private if you expect a public or unlisted broadcast.
