Connect Accounts
Supported Youtube Account Types
Here are the Youtube account types supported by Blotato:
Youtube personal accounts
Youtube branded accounts
Youtube API refers to accounts with multiple channels as "branded" accounts and has slightly different permissions for them. Make sure to check all the permissions when connecting your branded account.
How to Connect Your Youtube Accounts
Go to Settings
Make sure you're logged into the Youtube account you want to connect
Click "Login with Youtube"
Grant Blotato permission to post on your Youtube account
Issues Connecting Your Client's Youtube Channel?
Typically for branded or managed Youtube accounts, you need to click into your main account to see all the channels. For non-signed in accounts, you need to press Other Account and enter your credentials.
A Specific Channel Won't Appear When Connecting?
If you have multiple YouTube channels under one Google account and one channel won't show up, follow these steps:
Open an incognito Chrome window.
Go to youtube.com and sign in to your Google account.
Click your profile icon and select "Switch account."
Select the channel that won't appear (e.g., a brand channel or managed channel).
Confirm you are now viewing that specific channel in YouTube.
In the same incognito window, go to my.blotato.com/login and log in to Blotato.
Go to Settings and click "Login with YouTube."
Grant all requested permissions.
The channel should now appear in your connected accounts list.
How to Refresh Youtube Connection
Social platforms periodically require you to refresh connections to 3rd party tools, like Blotato.
This is normal and helps keep your account secure.
To refresh your Youtube connection in Blotato:
go to Settings
reconnect by clicking "Login with Youtube"
connect the same account
🛑 IMPORTANT 🛑
Don't DISCONNECT your account, otherwise all posts SCHEDULED in that account will fail.
