Does what it says on the tin

  • The plugin checks if a user trying to register/login on your site is subscribed to your YouTube channel, via Google OAuth. If not subscribed, the user gets rejected and account is not created, displaying a message to them that they have to be subscribed to your YT account to login or register.

    This is very handy in cases where your website is subscriber-only, but bear in mind that it doesn’t have a setting to turn sub-only “off.” That’s understandable since the plugin was made specifically for subscribers, but I do think more people can find utility with the plugin as just a YouTube OAuth login (just to simply verify the user is logging in via a YouTube account). Of course, you can use any OAuth plugin for this, but adding additional functionality could turn people toward this one specifically.

    Google will require manual verification when using the YTv3 scope, and uploading a video is part of the requirement. I was approved within a day, however.

    5-stars, plugin works exactly as described.
