Connect YouTube and read your channel reports

Connect YouTube to read your own channel reports in Marketing → Social. The feature is free for eligible sellers and uses read-only access. It cannot upload, publish or edit your videos.

Choose the right channel

1. Open Sales Analytics → Marketing → Connect → Social accounts.
2. Under YouTube, read the access explanation, linked YouTube terms and TrekGuider policies, then confirm your agreement.
3. Choose Connect and sign in on Google's own screen.
4. Check which channel is selected. A personal channel and a Brand channel can belong to the same Google account, so the email address alone does not identify the channel you intend to connect.
5. Review the requested access and continue if the channel is correct. Return to Social and choose that channel.

We read channel information and YouTube Analytics reports, with an account identifier to keep the connection tied to its owner. Signing in to TrekGuider with Google is a separate action and does not connect YouTube analytics.

Read the channel report

Available figures include views, watch time, average view duration, likes, comments, shares and subscribers gained or lost. Watch time is shown in minutes and average view duration in seconds. Read the dates and time zone on the report; YouTube reporting days can differ from your local day.

Recent days may be incomplete or unavailable, and YouTube can correct figures later. Zero is a reported result; a dash means a reliable figure is not available. Supported imported videos appear separately under Posts.

These are YouTube statistics, not visits or orders on TrekGuider. Use a separate tracking link in each video placement to compare your promotion with measured product sales.

Update or reconnect

In Manage social accounts, choose Refresh statistics if available. If the card says Reconnect needed, complete the connection again for the intended channel. Do not repeatedly start new connections while an existing request is still finishing.

Disconnecting removes imported reports and requests revocation of Google's access. Channels covered by the same Google authorization may be disconnected together. Check the accounts shown before confirming; your YouTube videos are not deleted.

See troubleshooting and disconnection or the social data policy for more detail.
