What permissions connecting YouTube asks for
Four Google scopes: upload, read-only channel access, comment replies, and read-only analytics. Nothing broader than Google’s consent screen names.
1. youtube.upload publishes what you schedule
Lets a scheduled post go live on your channel at the time you set. Without it, nothing could publish.
2. youtube.readonly reads comments and metrics
Lets comments sync into the inbox and lets video metrics pass through, exactly as YouTube reports them. On its own it reads and never writes.
4. yt-analytics.readonly reads audience retention
Lets the audience-retention curve YouTube already shows you in YouTube Studio appear on a published video here, exactly as YouTube reports it, with nothing computed on top. Read-only. A channel connected before this permission existed keeps publishing as before and shows a reconnect prompt where the curve would be.
5. Connect more than one YouTube channel
Each connection is tracked by its own account, not one slot per platform. A second, third, or tenth YouTube channel connects the same way the first one did.

- How to disconnect a channel
Remove a connected account: what happens to the posts scheduled to it, and where PostEase revokes its own access versus where you remove it yourself.
- Does my channel connection expire?
It renews itself automatically every 15 minutes, well before the old token would expire. You only hear from us if a renewal fails.
- Does the inbox update automatically?
New comments sync in on a 5-minute schedule; once they land, the inbox updates on its own. No refresh, no lost place in a thread.
- Use the PostEase API
Create, schedule and read posts, the inbox and media from your own code with a Pro plan token: every route, the response shape and the errors.
