Enable Video Titles in Riot Cast

Riot Cast allows you to fetch the titles of your YouTube Live streams using the YouTube Data API. To do this, you'll need a free API key from Google. Follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Google Cloud Console.
  2. Sign in with your Google account (create one if needed).
  3. Click "Select a project" at the top, then click "New Project". Name it something like RiotCastTitleAPI and click Create.
  4. Once created, make sure your new project is selected. Then in the left menu, go to APIs & Services → Library.
  5. Search for YouTube Data API v3. Click it, then click Enable.
  6. Now go to APIs & Services → Credentials, then click “+ Create Credentials” → API key.
  7. A dialog will show your new API key. Copy it. You can paste this into Riot Cast using the tray icon under Settings → API Key.
  8. (Optional) Click “Restrict Key” to limit usage to YouTube Data API v3 and set quotas if you want to protect it from misuse.

That’s it! Your Riot Cast app can now display video titles using your own key. You can disable this feature at any time by clearing the key from the settings.
