  • IMPORTANT
    • 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, YouTube integration should be set up using the automated OAuth flow, not manual token entry.
