Imagine I am creating a Android app that use Youtube API to upload user data. Since I don't wish to be the unique user of this application, all other users, should upload all videos made within this application to Youtube, but since I don't wish that users, upload pre-edited videos, or videos that they don't own, I wish to upload their videos to their youtube channel, without users interaction.
My doubt is based on:
- Is possible to grant application permissions to upload videos to user Youtube, if they have a Google Account?
- In this appliction, videos are stored in Youtube, but they serve another propose inside this application.
- The main objective is to extract their video-address and present it again inside application. With this approach, each user store their videos in their own Youtube channel, by the condition of having a Google account.
- Application that create a video, cannot upload users-videos to their Youtube account, without explicit permission to upload, which ask that user upload and publish their own videos manually?
All answers about the same topic, assume that this application I am developing is used only by me, or at least, that is the idea that I can extract from their questions and other users answers. But here, I assume that, this application will be used by many users, where each one video, is stored in their own Youtube channel, which all Google accounts have access to use for free.
Thank You!
I just read the documentation. I am not a technical guy. I search for answers that can satisfy my doubts. I ask what is possible, and those who know what is possible or not, explain me, why is impossible or if is possible, how to approach the problem.

Describe: Manage data in your Google Account: Third-party apps or services may request permission to edit, upload, create, or delete data in your Google Account.
For example:
A film editor app may edit your video and upload it to your YouTube channel.
So, yes, is possible to give permissions to an application, to write in someone else Youtube-channel. Even if is a potencial security issue, Google warn about this permissions, giving the user the hability to manage those application.
