YouTube Integration

Use this guide to connect YouTube to Zync and publish or schedule videos from Content Kit.

Before You Start

• Estimated time: 3-5 minutes for setup.
• Use the Google account that owns the YouTube channel you want to publish from.
• Keep your Google login available for the consent flow.
• Direct publish can be disabled on free or trial-limited workspaces. If you see Upgrade to Publish Directly to YouTube, upgrade your plan first.
• If Zync connects successfully but shows no channels, create or verify your YouTube channel and reconnect.

Connect YouTube (One-Time Setup)

1. In Zync, go to Workspace > Integrations.
2. In YouTube Configuration, select the YouTube card.
3. In the consent modal, review the upload permissions and select Connect to YouTube.
4. Sign in to Google and approve access for Zync.
5. After redirecting back to Zync, confirm your channel appears under Connected Accounts.

Connect YouTube in Workspace > Integrations, then approve access in the consent modal.

Success check: Your channel name appears in Connected Accounts inside YouTube Configuration.

Publish From Content Kit (Repeatable)

5. Select Publish to post immediately.
6. To publish later, open the arrow next to Publish, choose a time, and confirm the schedule.
7. After publishing, use the Published Video link to verify the upload on YouTube.

Success check: The publish finishes without errors and a YouTube link appears in Published Video.

If Publishing Fails
