Video campaigns need to know which channel the video belongs to. Connect YouTube from the Connections page and choose the channel you want to promote.

What Viewnex can and cannot see

  • Read-only access to basic channel and account details so we can display them in your dashboard
  • No ability to upload, edit or delete videos
  • No access to comments, subscriber lists or channel settings

For YouTube ads, your channel usually also needs to be linked to the Google Ads account running the campaign. Viewnex shows the linking status and the exact steps if the link is missing.
