Support / Documentation for limited device authorisation flow

See original GitHub issue

According to this page “OAuth 2.0 for TV and Limited-Input Device Applications” is generally supported in the google apis. However, I couldn’t find any hint about it in the google-api-dotnet-client.

Maybe the AuthorizationCodeFlow can be used for this, but I couldn’t find any example.

Finally I managed to implement a draft version of this authorisation workflow for youtube. In case this would be an enhancement for the google-api-dotnet-client, I’m willing to contribute it and make it more robust. However, I would need some support to understand how and where to integrate into the existing code base.

This an #1812 are the same, and we are tracking both on the backlog. Removing this one from the backlog as duplicate in #2223

OK, as I wrote I did not get it. I thought after glancing at the documentation that limited device auth was the way of authorizing by “external” browser. Thanks for the quick answers.
