\[Article description] This video shows how to add the YouTube app integration to manage access to it and its assets from Cerby centrally.

***

## Key concepts

* Learn how to connect the YouTube app integration to Cerby to manage user access centrally.
* Understand the prerequisites, including creating a service account in your corporate identity provider (IdP) and ensuring it has the **Owner** or **Manager** role on your YouTube channel.
* Follow step-by-step instructions to configure the integration, including entering channel details and selecting user management methods.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**IMPORTANT:** For a successful onboarding, make sure you meet the following prerequisites before getting started:

* The **Channel ID** of your YouTube channel. You can copy the ID from the [Advanced settings](https://www.youtube.com/account_advanced) of your YouTube Studio account. For more information, read the [Find your YouTube user & channel IDs](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/3250431?hl=en) official documentation
* A service account in the IdP (Okta, Entra ID, JumpCloud, Other) with the following characteristics:
* It must have the Google Suite apps assigned; thus, having access to the Gmail Inbox
* It must have the **Owner** or **Manager** role on the YouTube channel
* It must have the multi-factor authentication (MFA) method enabled for the Google account, thus accepting authenticator apps, such as Google Authenticator or Phone MFA. The steps to turn on MFA are referenced in the following videos:
  1. [How to add a Cerby-managed email or phone number to your account](/tips-and-troubleshooting/video-gallery/business-hubs/video-connect-your-youtube-studio-app-integration.md)
  2. [How to turn on MFA for Google manually](https://github.com/cerbyinc/help-center/blob/main/.uncategorized/video-how-to-turn-on-mfa-for-google-manually.md)
* It must be used exclusively to add the YouTube app integration to Cerby; thus, don't assign it to a user
* It must be added to your channel with the Manager role. For more information, read the [Add or remove access to your YouTube channel with channel permissions](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9481328?hl=en#:~:text=Tap%20your%20profile%20picture%20.,you'd%20like%20to%20invite.) official documentation

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.cerby.com/tips-and-troubleshooting/video-gallery/business-hubs/video-connect-your-youtube-studio-app-integration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
