Can't sign into google/youtube account on steam overlay.
Google has introduced this new nonsense which prevents users from signing into google accounts via the overlay browser as it is "not verified" and is a "less secure app". There is an option in your google account to allow sign in through less secure apps but even with that enabled, sign in is still prevented via the steam browser. Anyone having this problem too/can help?

Just connect in steam from your browser and try from there to upload a video, it will work. Have a great one guys!

Sorry for my English. I am using a translator

I'm actually surprised that work. Thank you!

This page lets you sign into google, which writes your Google login info into the Steam Client's cache

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/account/edit-profile/

I still think that the fact this thread is a year and a half old should suggest that supporting Youtube and nothing else is no longer sufficient regarding video embeds on Steam.

Hi all, that from Zeppelin is nice and fine for some, but not a real solution generally speaking. What if I do not want using Expierience from NVIDIA, an application I refuse to install at all cost, as well as creating an account over there too.

From the reading it seems, Valve still has not adopted the new OAuth API.
Small rant incoming
Sidenote: Valve should update the browser part instead of creating user annyances in the UI, which is the "thing" they are doing constantly. I want my Exit button back!


Linking YouTube to Steam seems not sufficient, as you still have to login manually after that, even if linked.

Steam broswer is a custom chromium browser, and not up todate with the lastest chromium version. That why use a normal broswer, login to Steam via website, then do the setup that way.

I just want to be logged in google/yotube in steam overlay browser during game, i can connect my yt account using normal browser what i just did but it doesn't change anything im still unlogged on my google/yotube on steam browser and i still can't log.

So this quote above still holds true. Sadly. :steamsalty::steamsalty::steamsalty:

I still think that YouTube should start supporting other video hosting sites like Vimeo, Odysee and Bitchute. As i've said multiple times, having support for Youtube and nothing else is no longer enough for the Steam client

Agreed. They are taking to long to do this. Not everyone is on Youtube.
I still cant even sign into my youtube here. Im trying everything. It just says unsafe browser but its google.

do not use the steam client then, use a normal web browser.
Google blocked ALL embedded browsers, even chromium embedded framework.

i just did it myself using the epic games store.
