Can't sign into google/youtube account on steam overlay.

[Akula-Class]

Google has introduced this new nonsense which prevents users from signing into google accounts via the overlay browser as it is "not verified" and is a "less secure app". There is an option in your google account to allow sign in through less secure apps but even with that enabled, sign in is still prevented via the steam browser. Anyone having this problem too/can help?

No they haven't, use a normal browser, and you realize you can still link your YouTube account, and videos. Steam browser is a strip down modified chromium browser that also out of date.

Which is why it's on Valve to fix their [crap]. It's not as if they make games anymore, just Steam, they literally have one job.

They don't plan on updating the Steam Chromium implementation beyond what is required from the Steam UI. You're better off asking for them to support Bitchute as an alternate option for Steam Community video posts

Open a normal broswer > Link your youtube account > Add videos to your profile, that the whole process, and point of it.

That doesn't enable video embedding from within the Steam UI though.

I still think that only supporting YouTube for this and nothing else is woefully inadequate. The fact that this conversation has been going for two years should be proof of this

And is there anything else expecting to do beyond linking your YouTube videos to your Steam profile? Because I doubt Steam gonna do anything about this for client side.

My suggestion is still outstanding, in that Valve should consider Bitchute support for Steam

what the heck is bitchute?

Well, to be clear considering something isn't any sort of guarantee or promise of implementation. And not getting what you want may not mean the "issue" is perpetually unaddressed.

It's not as if Valve is unaware of youtube or video in general. And the fact that there's been no movement or suggestion that there will be changes or implementations that you want does tell you something.

No. Whether it be explicit or implicit is a valid outcome for a great many situations.

A quick glance kinda make it seem like an alt-right cesspool.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitChute

I can't imagine why it might not be attractive for Valve....

After all even if the alt-right stuff doesn't matter. A platform where users can run amok just isn't attractive for a lot of businesses to jump into bed with. If Valve enables it, it's implicit permission to post that content. And Valve isn't gonna want to moderate and deal with whiner babies who are shocked Valve doesn't mirror BitChute's permissive content attitudes.

IE It's way more trouble than it's worth.

It has less heavyhanded moderation than YouTube, making it popular with political posters who get the Party's banhammer, as well as streamers and gamers who keep getting demonetized and copyright struck on YouTube. The search system is crap, though, and it doesn't seem to have a lot of music, so not really a solution to this.

Sometimes I just want to play and modify my YouTube playlists while in-game, it bugs me that Valve, who does nothing but Steam, LITERALLY has one job, can't manage to keep Steam stable and running properly, despite the mountains of money they're raking in from the platform. Where is all the money going?

You can frame it however you want. Your love for the site doesn't negate the reasons why a lot of other companies aren't going to touch it with a ten foot pole.

Nothing is stopping you from using your real browser to manage your playlists. I can't say I've had an issue with alt-tabbing games in over a decade. It's even safer/easier if you run in borderless windowed. "I don't wanna" isn't a very compelling argument. The overlay browser was never supposed to be a replacement for your real browser. And any issues you experience using the overlay are remedied by using your real browser. No amount of complaining is going to change that.

TBF, there aren't many non-Youtube video sharing sites that don't require you to jump through multiple hoops just to share a video (looking at you, Vimeo), and Odysee is drinking too much of that crypto koolaid

YouTube may have won. But they are increasingly irrelevant on the political landscape and are no linger the good guy on the block either as greed has indermined their brand.
The real issue here is that the steam client browser is not trusted by federation clients. Which is not a social issue, its technical.

I'd argue anyone who labels a for profit service owned by a mega corporation as a "good guy or bad guy" is really living in a fantasy land. Lots of people seem doomed to project their values onto a company until they're reminded that the company doesn't exist to uphold their values or be their champion. Guess what, the company was the "bad guy" the whole time.

Valve doesn't care about which video services is better for politics since they try to keep subject like politics to a minimum on their platform anyway.

It is technical. And Valve's solution seems to be: Use your actual browser.

[zaphodikus]

Why don't they delete the broken button in their app? It's one line of horrid JS?

Other app links are also flakey, they not fixing those either?

[zaphodikus]

Projecting good or evil is not that crazy. Denying that a company is not run with humans gives the company powers they should not have. Corporates love dodging the bullet by shifting narrative. It's always been in their power to squash the little man. Not happy to endorse their facades.
