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
