In short
To verify a YouTube channel, open Account settings or the creator setup and choose Connect with YouTube: Google asks you to allow read-only access and SaTT links the channel as a verified account. If you cannot use Google sign-in, paste a one-time bio code into the channel description instead.

Why should you connect YouTube to SaTT?
Only posts from verified accounts can be paid. Connecting YouTube proves the channel is yours, so a video link you submit to an AdPool is matched to you and nobody else.
- YouTube is the best-measured network on SaTT: views and likes come from the official YouTube Data API.
- Your subscriber count is read officially, which sets your audience tier in fixed-price pools.
- In a Quest, “Subscribe” actions are checked automatically through your own YouTube connection.
How do you connect YouTube, step by step?
1. Sign in to SaTT
Sign in at Sign in with e-mail or a social network. Signing in with Continue with Google already links the YouTube channel of that Google account.
2. Open your connected accounts
Go to Account settings (or step 2 of the creator setup) and find the YouTube card.
3. Connect with YouTube
Press Connect with YouTube, pick the Google account that owns the channel and allow the read-only YouTube permission (
youtube.readonly).4. Check the result
Back on SaTT, the card shows Linked @yourchannel and the badge “Verified (connected)”. Your subscriber count appears in your setup summary.
What does SaTT read from your YouTube account?
The connection is read-only. SaTT uses it to prove ownership and to read public statistics:
- Your channel id and handle, to match video links to you.
- Public numbers of your videos: views and likes. YouTube does not expose shares, so performance pools pay YouTube on views and likes only.
- Your subscriber count, for audience tiers.
SaTT never uploads, comments or likes on your behalf. Tokens are encrypted and you can disconnect at any time from Account settings; disconnecting deletes the access tokens.
What if Google sign-in does not work for you?
Use a bio code. On the YouTube card choose “Can’t connect? Verify with a bio code”, enter your channel handle and press Get my code. Paste the code (for example SATT-7K2Q9) into your channel description in YouTube Studio → Customization → Basic info, publish, then press I’ve added it — check.
The code expires after 15 minutes. Once verified you can remove it. Full walkthrough: Verify with a bio code.

Frequently asked questions
Can SaTT post on my YouTube channel?
No. The permission requested is youtube.readonly: SaTT can read your channel and public video statistics, nothing else.
Are YouTube shares paid in performance pools?
No. YouTube does not expose a share count, so the share price is hidden for YouTube and only views and likes earn.
Can I link the same channel to two SaTT accounts?
No. A channel can be verified by one SaTT account only; a second attempt shows “This account is already connected to another SaTT account”.
Does connecting YouTube make me a Verified creator?
It is the main condition: you need at least one network verified by its official connection and every linked network verified. See Become a Verified creator.
