You can use you tube "CommentThreads: insert" to post your comment via app

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/commentThreads/insert

following is the api call

Post url : https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/commentThreads?part=snippet&key={YOUR_API_KEY}

And body for the API call is:

Body

    { "snippet":{
      "topLevelComment":{
       "snippet":{
        "textOriginal": "YOUR_COMMENT_HERE",

       }
