📋 Requirements

A Google account with an active YouTube channel
Your channel must not be restricted or terminated
You must be the channel owner or have Manager access

How to Connect

Open Connected Accounts

Go to Social Media Connections from the sidebar.

Select YouTube

Click "Connect Account" and choose YouTube from the platform list.

Sign In with Google

You'll be redirected to Google. Sign in with the account that owns your YouTube channel.

Grant Permissions

Review the requested permissions and click "Allow". These permissions let ACE AI Spark upload and manage videos on your behalf.

Confirmation

Your YouTube channel will now appear in Connected Accounts as active. You're ready to publish!

Supported Content Types

Content Type	Supported	Notes
Long Videos	✅ Yes	Standard uploads, 16:9 recommended
YouTube Shorts	✅ Yes	Under 60s, vertical 9:16 format
Community Posts	✅ Yes	Text and image posts to your channel feed

🎬 Publish AI Videos from Flow

Use the Flow workspace to generate AI video clips, then publish them directly to YouTube. Flow exports in 16:9 MP4 — ideal for standard videos. For Shorts, set the aspect ratio to 9:16 in Flow settings.

🔄 Reconnecting Your Channel

Google OAuth tokens can expire over time. If your channel shows as disconnected, go to Connected Accounts and click "Reconnect" next to your YouTube channel to re-authorise via Google.

Frequently Asked Questions

"Upload quota exceeded"

YouTube limits daily uploads per channel. Wait 24 hours and try again. This is a YouTube-imposed limit, not an ACE AI Spark restriction.

"Video processing"

After uploading, YouTube processes your video server-side. This can take a few minutes depending on video length and resolution. Your video will appear once processing completes.

"Channel not found"

Make sure you're signing in with the correct Google account that owns the channel. If you have multiple Google accounts, try an incognito window to select the right one.

Staying Connected

ACE AI Spark refreshes your connection automatically in the background, so once you connect an account it normally stays connected indefinitely. If the platform ever requires you to re-authorize the app, you’ll see two things:

A bell-icon notification at the top of any page in the app
An email letting you know which account needs attention

When that happens, head to Social Media Connections, find the row showing the disconnected account, and click Connect. The re-auth takes about ten seconds. Any scheduled posts that were going out only to this account are automatically paused while it’s disconnected and resume the moment you reconnect — nothing gets lost.
