You can link a YouTube channel with Ayrshare. When authorizing YouTube with Ayrshare, you will be redirected to Google to login, authorize Ayrshare, and select a YouTube channel. Please be sure your Google account permissioned to manage the YouTube channel you want to connect and the channel is public. If you’re having issues linking your YouTube channel, please see the YouTube channel permissions guide for more information.
YouTube does not support Service Accounts. Service accounts do not work for YouTube Data API calls because service accounts require an associated YouTube channel, and you cannot associate new or existing channels with service accounts.
