Cannot revoke app permission for YouTube channel account.

I am creating an application that requests permission to manage a YouTube account (Google account) through OAuth2.

This works fine, however, the problem that I encountered is that the user decides to use the YouTube channel account associated with their Google account to provide permissions for our application, I can’t figure out how to allow them to revoke their permission .

For example, if our application is closed by a regular Google account, we can go to this page: https://security.google.com/settings/u/0/security/permissions and then revoke the permission by finding our application in the list and click the "revoke access" button on the right.

We cannot do this for a linked YouTube channel account. It seems that for these accounts there is no such permission access panel.

Using the aforementioned dashboard, you can usually “switch accounts” by clicking on the image of your account in the upper right part of the page. However, when I do this, the associated account is not specified.

You can revoke access on this page: https://accounts.google.com/delegateaccountselector?continue=https://accounts.google.com/issuedauthsubtokens

It seems that when you first select which channel / sub-account to see the applications, it does not actually select this channel properly.

Once in the list of connected applications (for the wrong channel), I had to click my icon in the upper right corner and select the correct channel, and then youtube applications will appear!

For me, this is displayed on this page as:
