Upload. Schedule. Launch.
Clip Launch is an application that uploads, configures, and schedules videos to a user's own YouTube channel. It connects to the YouTube Data API on the user's behalf so that video files, titles, descriptions, thumbnails, privacy settings, and publication times can be submitted to YouTube from one place instead of being entered manually for every video.
Clip Launch requests Google OAuth 2.0 authorization because performing these publishing actions on the user's own YouTube channel is the application's core and only purpose.

About this application
What Clip Launch is, in plain terms.
Application name: Clip Launch — the same name shown on the Google OAuth consent screen when a user authorizes it. Home page: https://cliplaunch.net.
Clip Launch is a YouTube publishing automation application. A user signs in with their own Google account, grants Clip Launch permission to manage their YouTube channel, and then hands Clip Launch a video together with its publishing details. Clip Launch submits that video and its settings to YouTube through the YouTube Data API and reports back the resulting video ID and upload status. It does nothing else: there is no advertising, no resale of data, and no functionality unrelated to YouTube publishing.
Clip Launch is intended for creators and channel operators who publish videos regularly and want to avoid repeating the same manual upload steps for every video on their own channel.

From authorization to publication.
The workflow is simple: the user authorizes access, supplies the publishing details, and Clip Launch sends the requested operations to YouTube.
01 / AUTHORIZE
Connect with Google OAuth 2.0
The user authorizes Clip Launch to access the YouTube account they choose. The consent screen shows the application name Clip Launch.
02 / PREPARE
Provide the publishing details
The user supplies a video, thumbnail, title, description, privacy setting, and optional schedule.
03 / PUBLISH
Send authorized operations
Clip Launch performs the requested upload and configuration operations through the YouTube Data API.
04 / CONFIRM
Return the result
YouTube stores and publishes the video according to the configured settings, and Clip Launch retrieves relevant status information.
Why Clip Launch requests YouTube access
Authorization is required to publish.
Clip Launch uses Google OAuth 2.0 to let the user authorize access to their own YouTube account. The authorization is not requested merely for account login: it is required because Clip Launch's core purpose is to perform user-requested YouTube publishing operations on that account.
With the permission granted, Clip Launch uses the YouTube Data API to upload videos, modify video metadata, assign thumbnails, configure privacy and scheduling settings, and retrieve relevant video information. Access can be revoked at any time from the Google Account permissions page.
Clip Launch's use of information received from Google APIs complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
