Question

I manage several Youtube channels, each with their Gmail account and now also associated with a Google+ account.

My question is: I can access, via Youtube Analytics API, to all my Youtube channels reports with a single Google account without having to choose between them? That is, a general account with permissions to access reports on all channels.

Thanks in advance.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Yes, you actually can have these different channels linked under a single Google account.

1) Set up a Google Plus Page for your YouTube account via https://www.youtube.com/account (requires g+ account) Note: This may overwrite avatar and channel title, and may change your YouTube display name to whatever you set your Page Title to be.

2) Your personal g+ account will be the owner of this Google plus page.

3) Repeat for other accounts, setting up their own google plus pages.

4) You can add your main personal g+ account (if you have one for each unique gmail) as a "manager" of these other pages, giving a single login access to the pages (and therefore all the associated YouTube accounts) via the drop down "switch acocunts" on YouTube (top right drop down)

5) After a page is old enough (2 weeks?) you can change owners so your main g+ page owns the page. Not necessary but helps consolidate + lets you abandon other personal g+ accounts.

Let me know if you're able to follow that. There are benefits to doing this with only a single channel. You won't be able to see "combined" analytics but you can switch accounts much, much easier.

OTHER TIPS

This link provides the youtube channel report in range. But when used with google php library it get hooked in a "User login required Error!"
