Connecting YouTube lets Omnyra publish videos to your channel and read how they perform.
What it covers
Publishing a video to the channel, and reading the channel's own analytics. It does not read anything else in your Google account.
It is its own connection
Google is the reason, not a preference. Google refuses a single consent screen that asks for Drive and YouTube together, and returns an outright error rather than granting the part it is willing to grant:
This request contains scopes that cannot be requested together.
Connecting Google used to ask for everything at once, so that refusal took the whole Google connection down with it. An owner who wanted Calendar and Gmail could not connect either, because of YouTube permissions they had never asked for and did not want.
Three separate connections means three separate consents, each one asking only for what it needs. The practical effect is that you can connect Google Workspace, Drive and YouTube in any combination, and a problem with one leaves the others working.
Connecting it
Select Technology, find YouTube among the connections, and connect. Google's own consent screen opens and asks about your channel. The connected Google account is shown afterward, which is worth checking when a person has more than one.
If it stops working
A connection can lapse the same way any other does, and it is reported alongside the rest — see a connection stopped working.
One case is specific to YouTube. A channel managed through a Google Brand Account will accept the YouTube permissions but refuse unrelated ones, so connect YouTube on its own rather than expecting a wider Google connection to cover it.
Posting to social accounts is separate
Scheduled social posting, including video, runs through the social connections rather than this one — see connecting social accounts. This connection is for the channel itself.
