Tokland is not working on youtube-upload anymore. However, @kootsoop is. If you prepare a PR, we'll gladly merge it. Any help, gratefully received.

Describe the bug

  1. After the upload has finished the video is immidiatly marked as "Private (locked)" with explantion: "Terms and policies: This video has been made private by YouTube".

  2. Also I get an email from youtube which says: " Hi ....

      Our team has reviewed your content, and we think you may need to make changes to make sure it doesn't violate our spam, deceptive practices and scams policy. In the meantime, we've made the following content private:   Video: .......   We haven’t applied a strike to your channel, and if you make changes, or if you think we've made a mistake, you can request to make your content public again. However, there may be some instances where YouTube keeps your content private.   What "locked as private" means   Content locked as private won't appear on your channel or in search results, and it won't be visible to other users.

  3. please see: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7300965?hl=en It says there: "..For videos that have been locked as private due to upload via an unverified API service, you will not be able to appeal. You’ll need to re-upload the video via a verified API service or via the YouTube app/site. The unverified API service can also apply for an API audit."

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Upload another video

Expected behavior I think you should resolve it with youtube...

Additional context I have tried several videos and the issue is with all of them. The video are immidiatly and automatically marked as private with restriction upon upload. The videos are educational lactures and doesnt violate youtube rules Thanks in advance!

Make sure your api project is verified

All videos uploaded via the videos.insert endpoint from unverified API projects created after 28 July 2020 will be restricted to private viewing mode. To lift this restriction, each API project must undergo an audit to verify compliance with the Terms of Service. Please see the API Revision History for more details.

It did this to me for a test video that was only a few seconds long. so I tested the script with the MP4 file I use for my intros and it made it public
