+## YouTube API Authentication (Optional)
+
+For the core functionality of fetching live chat using `pytchat`, explicit YouTube Data API v3 authentication (e.g., API keys or OAuth 2.0 credentials) is **not required**. `pytchat` leverages an internal YouTube API endpoint that does not necessitate these credentials for public live chat streams.
+
+However, if you plan to extend this project to interact with other YouTube Data API v3 services (e.g., managing videos, accessing private data, or performing actions that require user authorization), you will need to set up API credentials. You can find detailed instructions on how to obtain and configure these credentials in the official Google Cloud documentation:
+
+*   [Google Cloud Console - Credentials](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials)
+*   [YouTube Data API v3 Overview](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3)
+
+For Python projects, you would typically use libraries like `google-auth-oauthlib` and `google-api-python-client` to handle authentication and API interactions.
