Connect YouTube Channel
How to connect your YouTube channel to ScoutSocial via Google OAuth 2.0.
Connecting your YouTube channel
Connection steps
- Open the More menu (☰) at the bottom of the left sidebar, click Settings, then expand Social Media Accounts
- Find YouTube and click Connect
- You'll be redirected to Google's OAuth consent screen
- Sign in with the Google account that owns your YouTube channel
- Review and approve the permissions
- You'll be redirected back to ScoutSocial with your channel connected
Multiple channels
If your Google account manages multiple YouTube channels, ScoutSocial connects to the primary channel associated with the account. To manage a different channel, sign in with the Google account that owns that channel.
Troubleshooting
- "Access denied" - Ensure you're signing in with the correct Google account
- "Channel not found" - Your Google account must have an active YouTube channel
- Upload errors - Check that your channel is in good standing and not restricted
