If you follow the solution for getting a permanent refresh token and use Java, this works for me

GoogleCredential credential = new GoogleCredential.Builder().setTransport(httpTransport)
                    .setJsonFactory(JSON_FACTORY)
                    .setClientSecrets(oauth2ClientId, oauth2ClientSecret)
                    .build()
                    .setRefreshToken(oauth2RefreshToken);


 this.youTubeClient = new YouTube.Builder(httpTransport, JSON_FACTORY, credential)
                    .setApplicationName(APPLICATION_NAME)
                    .build();

Required dependencies

    com.google.apis
    google-api-services-youtube
    v3-rev212-1.25.0
    

    com.google.auth
    google-auth-library-oauth2-http
