What is YouTube Authentication

A creator is not required to complete a separate Authentication process to link their YouTube account with GRIN. While connecting, GRIN accesses a specific API from Google that allows GRIN to pull in YouTube insights for you. However, connecting can benefit you as the creator, to have your content automatically pull in. You only need to have a Google Account associated with your YouTube Channel to log into GRIN. You can learn more about this here if it is not already set up: Create an Account on YouTube.

What does this look like when connecting to GRIN

YouTube Authentication and connection to GRIN is a quick process for you. It only requires a Google Account in order to complete the connection. Creators with a YouTube account must log in to the Google Account associated with their YouTube account and channel.
