Connect YouTube

1. In onboarding, or in Settings under channels, choose Connect YouTube.
2. Pick the Google account that owns the channel. It can be different from the account you signed in with. Approve read access: VidLasso asks for youtube.readonly (your videos and comments) and yt-analytics.readonly (your channel's numbers).
3. If that Google account has several channels, pick the one to add. Repeat to add another.

Turning on replies

To send replies from VidLasso, turn on replies for that channel. Google then asks you to approve youtube.force-ssl. You can turn it off again in Settings; the Inbox then goes back to drafts you copy.

How often it syncs

• Your first 2 channels sync every day.
• Each extra channel syncs once a week, or every day for 1 credit a day.
• New uploads are noticed through YouTube's public upload notifications, so a fresh video shows up without waiting for the next sync.
• Owners and editors can press Sync now in Feed to refresh sooner.

Disconnecting

Disconnect a channel in Settings, or remove VidLasso from your Google account permissions. We delete that channel's YouTube data within 30 days.

To use your channel from Claude, see YouTube MCP server.
