Why Listenbox needs broader YouTube permission to add each published episode to your selected playlist.

Why Listenbox asks for broad YouTube access

When Listenbox publishes an episode to YouTube, it adds the new video to the playlist you selected for your show. YouTube's upload-only permission does not cover this step, so Google requires broader access to add the video to your playlist.

Google describes that permission broadly because it can cover other YouTube actions too. Listenbox uses it to place newly published episode videos in the playlist you chose.

See Google's authorization requirements for adding a video to a playlist.
