Connect YouTube

The YouTube connection is a separate Google sign-in with upload permission. Sayweek uploads an approved video to your channel at its scheduled time.

Before you start

• A YouTube post needs a video (MP4 or MOV) – text or image posts can't go out.
• Your Google account needs a YouTube channel; if it has none, create one on YouTube first.
• Connecting needs the owner or editor role.

Connect

1. 1Open Settings → Brands & channels.
2. 2In the How Sayweek publishes – connected accounts area, click + Connect account.
3. 3In the Which account do you want to connect? window, choose YouTube.
4. 4Sign in with your Google account and tick the YouTube upload permission.
5. 5Back in Sayweek, choose New brand for these or Add to an existing brand in the What should we do with the new account? window.

Visibility

On the channel's Edit → Publishing → Directly tab, choose under Visibility: Private, Unlisted (link only) or Public. It's private by default: nothing appears publicly until you change it.

What happens next

Large videos upload in several parts and can take a while; if an upload still isn't finished after 24 hours, the post reports an error. Views, likes and comments appear on the Analytics page.

Disconnect

1. 1Open Settings → Brands & channels and expand the How Sayweek publishes – connected accounts area.
2. 2On the YouTube card, click Remove under the account and confirm. Its channels then stop posting.
