Setting up YouTube is not that hard of a job!

As with most of these platforms, you need to modify credentials.xml

However, before doing anything, just change this property to "YouTube"

<ActivePlatforms>YouTube</ActivePlatforms>

ActivePlatforms supports multiple platforms (following by a comma symbol)

There are 2 required properties specified for YouTube!

<YouTube.VideoID>S0MeyoUtub3V1DEoiD</YouTube.VideoID>    

<YouTube.APIKey>S0mEY0UTuBEapIK3y</YouTube.APIKey>

YouTube.VideoID - As simple as it sounds, go to your livestream, you should be seeing this link in your browser:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v={HERE IS THE ID}

Copy the {HERE IS THE ID} part!

YouTube.APIKey - This is a very dangerous part here, DO NOT SHARE IT WITH NOBODY

Here is how to grab your API Key!

1. Go to console.cloud.google.com

2. Create a new project and give it a name!

3. Find APIs & Services and then click on "Enable APIs and services"

4. Search for "YouTube Data API v3" and then click on it and click "Enable" button

5. Navigate to "Credentials" and click "Create Credentials" button and select "API Key"!

The API Key will be generated afterwards, but you can optionally restrict it as well!

6. Click "Edit API Key" to apply necessary restrictions on the API Key!

7. And here is the key that is ready to be pasted as YouTube.APIKey!

If you can't find any of these properties in credentials.xml, just add them manually!
