YouTube

Connect YouTube and your assistant can manage your connected channel — videos, playlists, comments, and channel details — so channel upkeep happens without leaving Town.

What’s included

With YouTube connected, your assistant can:

  • See your channel — get a channel overview, list activities, videos, playlists, and playlist videos, and search videos
  • Manage videos — upload videos, update video details, and upload thumbnails
  • Manage playlists — create, update, and delete playlists, and add or remove videos
  • Handle comments — list comment threads, reply, create comment threads, and moderate comments
  • Update your channel — change channel details and upload a channel banner

Connecting YouTube

  1. Go to Integrations
  2. Find YouTube and click Connect
  3. Authorize Town with the Google account that owns your channel
  4. Return to Town

Your assistant acts on the channel your connected Google account manages. You can revoke access anytime from your Google account settings.
