The Google account completing authorization must own or have the appropriate Brand Account role for the YouTube channel.

​
Before you begin

  • Confirm the Google account has a YouTube channel.
  • Confirm the channel is public and in good standing.
  • Use the channel owner or an appropriate Brand Account owner or manager. Delegated YouTube Studio access alone may not be available to external API connections.
  • Google service accounts cannot be connected to a YouTube channel for this purpose.

​
Connect YouTube

  1. Open Accounts and select YouTube.
  2. Choose Connect.
  3. Select or sign in to the Google account associated with the channel.
  4. Choose the specific YouTube channel you want Overlap to use.
  5. Approve each requested permission screen by choosing Continue.
  6. Return to Overlap and confirm the channel appears as Connected.
If the wrong Google account is selected automatically, sign out of it or retry in a private browser window with only the intended account signed in.
If the channel is missing from Google’s selector, see YouTube Channels Not Showing.
If only the channel owner can complete authorization, use Invite YouTube owner on the Accounts page instead of asking them to share credentials.
