    • The ScorePlay user you're using to integrate with YouTube has the right permissions
  • Use the automated OAuth link in the search bar of the same browser where the YouTube account is signed in: https://media.scoreplay.io/oauth/yt?company_id={company_id}
    • Remove the {brackets} to add your the company ID
      • Request the company ID from the Support team via the live chat
  • You will land on an SSO page
  • Select the Google account that you use for YouTube
  • Allow full access for the integration to work
    • That should set up the account connection

  • Select Send and the video should upload to the cloud

 

🔖 Notes

  • You can only activate one YouTube account per platform. This means if you have separate channels for each sport, you will need to change the integration each time.
  • There is currently a limit of 60 videos/ day posted via the integration.
  • Based on ScorePlay's documentation, the YouTube integration should be set up using the automated OAuth flow, not manual token entry.
