There can be several reasons why some YouTube channels are not showing up when using the YouTube API. For more information on how to connect your YouTube channel to Ayrshare, see the YouTube channel linking guide.

A few common causes:

  1. Channel Required

    • YouTube posting requires your YouTube account to have at least one Channel and be an owner on the Channel. To create a YouTube Channel, click on your profile in the YouTube Dashboard and choose “Create a Channel”. You may also use this direct link to create a YouTube Channel: http://m.youtube.com/create_channel

  2. Owner or Admin of the Channel

    • The Google account logged in as must be the owner or admin of the Channel for it to be presented. You can check the brand permissions to ensure that the account has the necessary permissions.

  3. Channel Privacy Settings

    • If a channel owner has set their channel privacy to “Private” or “Unlisted,” their channel and its content will not be accessible through the API.

    • Private channels are only visible to the channel owner and authorized users, while unlisted channels can only be accessed with the direct channel URL.

  4. Age or Region Restrictions

    • If a channel has age-restricted content or is restricted in certain regions.

    • Age-restricted channels require users to be signed in and meet the age requirements to view the content.

  5. Deleted or Suspended Channels

    • If a channel has been deleted by the owner or suspended by YouTube for violating terms of service, it will no longer be accessible through the API.

    • Deleted channels are permanently removed, while suspended channels may become accessible again if the suspension is lifted.
