I cannot login to my YouTube channel in the Steam browser

[Canna Ltd. 🚬]

if i want to connect my youtube channel with steam and i try to log in then it says:

This browser or app may not be secure.
Use a different browser. If you're already using a supported browser, you can refresh the screen and try to log in again.

Any idea ?

Do as it says and use a browser.

Why are you asking about Google on a different network?
We're separated now, it's what "we" voted for.
So this is what it is.

Now you have to deal with what you voted for.

Ok , didn't know that steam was not supported anymore. Thanks

Steam:

Steam is produced, configured, coded, and (the overlay browser at least) is Chromium.
That was done for a reason (freedom).

Nobody has any idea what is going on there.

The way I see it, Valve needs to work on their Steam browser to make it secure again, and there is nothing we can do until then. They need to have it authenticated or something.
Maybe they will release an update for it in due time, because it is clearly not working as intended, because loads of people have asked for help with this before you.

As far as I know, there hasn't been any official word about this, and users are being left to their own devices. Oblivious of what causes this situation, and they are left completely in the dark, speculating about the reasons.

You'd expect there to be some formal word about it, but no. Everyone is left speculating. No support page. Nothing at all. How are we supposed to explain that to the people?


For Christ sake, you'd expect there to be some sort of support page after all those months, explaining the situation.

I am not sure, if I understand what you mean. People may accept or vote, for whatever they think they should be accepting or voting for, but this interface is still not functioning, regardless whether or not people accept things or vote.


Right now, the situation is:

People:
"Hey people, your browser isn't working!"
People:
"Yes, we know. Use a browser!"


How does that make sense? This doesn't make sense to me.
People would at least expect some sort of explanation or support page, to tell them what to do, so they do not have to post this question on the forum hundreds of times, because they cannot find an answer to this on their own.

It's very simple: People buy themselves a product, they expect that product to function, as the product advertises itself to function. And they should not be told by strangers on the internet what to do, or be told to download who knows what, by asking random people on the internet questions, that they may or may not come across, because that doesn't make any sense, when you buy a product, and the product could easily be able to supply them with that information itself.





Simple question: Why is there no support page for this? Because right now, this makes everyone look like amateurs. I recommend someone to do something about this situation, or at least inform them about this, so people can figure this out on their own.
Because right now, the Steam interface does not even seem to suggest to use another browser. And that doing so is a requirement. Why does the Steam interface not supply their users with that information, as to where to get a functional browser? I cannot wrap my head around this.

You have to admit this is quite bizzarre, considering things. There is even an achievement to do this, and if every user will get to see that message, that's not good for business. People could get worried over it, or whatever. There are so many good reasons to do something about this, I could keep going on about it forever.

What you see in the Steam Client, and Steam's overlay browser, is Chromium - a coding language developed by Google. Report it to Steam through the help system or opt in to the beta and submit a bug report to the beta discussions.

Until they fix it your only option is to not use the Steam Client Browser, use your preferred browser (alt+tab).

I basically also use a browser alongside Steam, the native Steam experience is often a bit (lot) janky as a UX. Don't feel bad about it, Steam integration with Youtube is cryptic to say the least because Steam still thinks of youtube in terms of what it was doing 15 years ago.

It drove me so nuts when I first added a YT video on steam that I had to make a support ticket, they added a help button soon after, but the help button is still pretty broken.
