​
What is the YouTube Connection?

The YouTube connection lets YouWare analyze any channel you mention in your prompt—e.g. “Build a research site for the MrBeast YouTube channel”. The AI fetches real channel data (subscriber counts, playlists, top videos, latest uploads) and designs pages that embed playable videos with jump links back to YouTube.

Live Video Galleries

Auto-generate carousels and grids with real thumbnails, durations, and view counts

Channel Profiles

Summarize creator bios, publishing cadence, top-performing content, and sponsorship highlights

Analytics Dashboards

Visualize trends for watch time, subscriber growth, engagement ratios, and upload frequency

​
How It Works

1

Enable the connection

In your workspace, open Connections → YouTube and toggle it on. No Google Cloud setup or API keys required.
2

Describe the channel or topic

In your prompt, reference the creator, channel ID, video, or keywords you need. Example:
“Create a competitive analysis page for MrBeast’s YouTube channel showcasing top videos, upload cadence, and audience stats.”
3

Preview the generated sections

YouWare builds hero sections, galleries, analytics widgets, and CTAs populated with live channel data and video links.
4

Regenerate to refresh

Whenever you regenerate or request a manual sync, YouWare fetches the latest stats and updates the layouts accordingly.

​
Prompt Example

"Build a research microsite for the MrBeast YouTube channel.
Include subscriber milestones, a grid of the latest uploads with direct links,
and a table comparing performance of his most-watched videos."

​
Best Practices

  • Be specific in prompts: Mention channel names, playlists, or target audiences (“compare tech review channels”)
  • Mix text + video: Ask for executive summaries, sponsor callouts, or insight panels alongside embeds
  • Combine with Backend: Save curated playlists, survey results, or partner leads directly into YouWare Backend
  • Leverage Shorts + Livestreams: Call out trending Shorts or upcoming live events for richer engagement
  • Use Credit Care: Iterate on layouts without fear—undo attempts that miss the mark and retry instantly
