hello,

following up on this: [Authentication Error When Using Discourse Video Upload Theme Component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/authentication-error-when-using-discourse-video-upload-theme-component/182833), I am now running into another problem with Google authenticating the requests to upload videos to YouTube.

I am getting the following 401 Error when uploading a video:

however, the settings on the Google API are enabled as listed on the documentation for the Component:
