Connect your YouTube channel

Link the channel Chillframe publishes to, and what access we ask for.

Connect your channel once and Chillframe puts your finished videos on it for you. Only an owner or an admin can do it. Your plan sets how many channels you can connect, starting at one on Starter, and Connect YouTube tells you when you've used them all. If you're running a Series, connect the channel before the first slot is due, so nothing gets skipped.

  1. Go to Settings → Channels.

  2. On the YouTube connection card, click Connect YouTube.

  3. Sign in with the Google account that owns the channel, and allow the access Google lists.

Google brings you back to Channels, where your channel now shows a Connected badge with its handle and its subscriber count. Leave any of the permissions unticked and Chillframe tells you it needs the upload and manage permissions to publish for you, so you can start again.

That access lets Chillframe upload videos with their titles, descriptions and thumbnails, and read your channel info and analytics for your dashboard. It only writes the videos it publishes for you. It never deletes anything from your channel, and it can't change your channel settings.

A Google connection runs out after a while. When it does, the channel shows a Reconnect needed badge and posts to it are skipped until you press Reconnect and pick the same channel again. You can disconnect a channel from the same page any time, and the videos already up stay on YouTube. If your channel doesn't show up, email [email protected] and a human will read it.
