How to Connect Your YouTube Channel in Aspire

Guide to connecting your brand's YouTube channel to Aspire to unlock YouTube Creator Partnership features

Written by Heather Clark

Connect your brand's YouTube channel to Aspire to unlock YouTube Creator Partnership features, including non-public video metrics, creator video tagging, and video boosting through Google Ads.

Before You Start

  • You'll need access to the Google account that owns or manages your brand's YouTube channel. Learn more about channel permissions here.

  • This is a one-time setup at the workspace level — once connected, your channel is used across all future YouTube campaigns.

Steps

  1. Go to Settings → Integrations → YouTube.
    ​

  2. Click Connect.
    ​

  3. In the modal that appears, click Sign in with Google.
    ​
    Check the consent box: "Automatically create YouTube Creator PartnershipBrandConnect campaigns for all campaigns with YouTube deliverables." (This is checked by default.)
    ​

  4. You'll be redirected to Google to sign in and authorize Aspire.
    ​

  5. After authorization, you’ll be redirected back to Aspire. If the connection was successful, your YouTube account will display “Connected” on the YouTube Settings page. Your channel name, handle, and subscriber count will also appear for confirmation.
    ​

Managing Your Connection

  • Change channel: To use a different YouTube channel, disconnect the current one and connect the new one.

  • Disconnect: Go to Settings → Integrations → Youtube, then click Disconnect. This won't affect existing campaigns but new campaigns won't have YouTube Creator Partnership features available.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don't connect my YouTube channel?

You'll be reminded each time you create a campaign with YouTube deliverables. You can still create campaigns without connecting, but Creator Partnership features (video tagging, non-public metrics, boosting) won't be available.
​

Can I connect multiple YouTube channels?

Currently, one YouTube channel can be connected per workspace. If you need to use a different channel, disconnect the current one and connect the new one.

Can the same YouTube channel be connected to multiple Aspire accounts?

Yes, you can connect the same YouTube channel to multiple Aspire accounts.
