Before you start
A Google account with a YouTube channel. To create one: YouTube → profile picture → Create a channel. For extra channels (another brand, creator or audience) and owner verification, see Create your social accounts.
Connect to Sprid
sprid connect youtube --account <slug>Replace <slug> with your Sprid account slug.
Set it up
- Sign in with your Google account.
- Choose the channel to upload to, including a Brand Account channel if you use one.
- Review the requested access and click Continue.
Check the connection
Run sprid status and check the channel name. Upload a reviewed reel as private, then check YouTube Studio → Content.
If something goes wrong
- Google blocks sign-in or says Sprid is unverified: send the message to Sprid support.
- Upload is private although you chose Public: check visibility in YouTube Studio → Content. If YouTube will not let you change it, contact Sprid support.
- Upload limit reached: wait, and check the post’s status in Sprid before submitting again.
- Creating a channel asks for verification: the primary owner follows YouTube Studio’s instructions (video, ID or channel history). Review can stay pending; reauthorizing Sprid cannot create the channel. Continue other platforms and recheck eligibility later.
Investigate with this connection
