How it works
Sign in with YouTube once, under Settings → Automatic Uploads, using the Google account that owns your club’s channel. Framesports then reads your channel the way you see it and imports each new upload for analysis, matched against your filter rules like any other source. Because we read the channel as its owner, your games do not have to be public. Upload them as Unlisted: nobody who isn’t given the link can find or watch them, and they still import.Works for public and unlisted videos. Private videos can’t be imported: YouTube only shows a private video to its owner, signed in on youtube.com, so nothing outside YouTube can fetch it. Set those to Unlisted and they import on the next check.
Connecting your channel
- Go to Settings → Automatic Uploads and choose YouTube.
- Press Sign in with YouTube and pick the Google account that owns the channel.
- Allow Framesports to view your YouTube account. You’re brought back to Framesports with the channel connected, and importing starts on its own.
How to make your videos unlisted
A video you have already uploaded
- Open YouTube Studio and click Content in the left menu.
- Find the video and hover over its Visibility column (it says Private).
- Click the down arrow, choose Unlisted, then Save.
A video you are uploading now
On the last step of YouTube’s upload window, Visibility, choose Unlisted instead of Private before you press Save or Publish.Every future upload
In YouTube Studio go to Settings → Upload defaults → Basic info and set Visibility to Unlisted, then Save. Every game you upload from then on is unlisted unless you change it.When your games appear
Framesports checks your channel every few hours. A game uploaded as Unlisted or Public shows up in your footage list on the next check, and a video you change from Private to Unlisted does the same.Reconnecting
If you remove Framesports from your Google account, or the sign-in expires, the YouTube source shows Sign in with YouTube again in Settings → Automatic Uploads. Sign in once more and importing carries on as before; nothing already imported is affected.Frequently Asked Questions
