This shows how to upload a video using an HTTP request.

There are code snippets that are also available in java (and kotlin is pretty similar).

In order to see how to upload a video, go to https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/code_samples/code_snippets, select Videos under Resource and insert under method.

If you then click on Show code and select JAVA at the top, you will get this example code:

You can also look at another example java code for uploading a video to YouTube on GitHub.

Note that you will need to make a few changes to this:

Under Android, you don't have a main. You will need to (1) put that code whereever you need to and you might want to (2) do it asynchronously.

When using Kotlin, you will also (3) need to modify the syntax accordingly.
