Leverage your YouTube account to schedule and publish content, engage with your audience, and view YouTube analytics. Here, we have listed the steps to add/edit a YouTube account in Sprinklr.

To learn about all the reasons why your brand should make a social media presence on YouTube, see Why is YouTube Important?

Note:

A social account can only be added to a single Workspace. To add the same account in different workspaces, admins are required to share that social account with other workspaces. For more information, see Sharing an Account
