## Faceless + YouTube

Connect Faceless with YouTube to automatically post videos. No glue code, no Zapier middleware, no maintenance. Once you authenticate YouTube once, every video you generate in Faceless flows through automatically based on the rules you set. Below: setup in three steps, what you can build with it, and answers to the questions teams usually ask first.

## How to connect YouTube

1.  1
    
    ### Click Connect YouTube and authorize the youtube.upload scope
    
    Faceless requests only one scope from your Google account: youtube.upload, which lets us publish videos to channels you own. We don't request youtube.readonly, channel analytics access, or comment management. The scope you grant is the minimum needed to publish, nothing more.
    
2.  2
    
    ### Pick your default channel from the linked accounts
    
    If you manage multiple YouTube channels under one Google account, choose which channel new videos publish to by default. You can override per-project, useful when running a portfolio of channels in different niches from one Faceless workspace.
    
3.  3
    
    ### Toggle auto-publish on the project and set the schedule
    
    In the project settings, toggle auto-publish and pick a schedule (immediate render, daily at a fixed time, or specific datetime). Faceless renders, validates, and uploads at the scheduled time. If a render fails validation (audio mismatch, frame errors), we hold the upload and notify you in-app instead of publishing broken video.
    
    ```bash
    POST /api/project/{id}/youtube
    {
      "autoPublish": true,
      "scheduledAt": "2026-05-10T14:00:00Z",
      "title": "AITA: Wedding Seating Disaster",
      "description": "From r/AmItheAsshole..."
    }
    ```

## What you can do with YouTube + Faceless

-   01
    
    ### Daily Shorts queued from a Reddit feed
    
    Subscribe Faceless to a subreddit (AskReddit, AITA, ProRevenge); we generate a Short from each top post and publish to your channel daily without manual intervention.
    
-   02
    
    ### 30-day series automation with one upload window per day
    
    Schedule a 30-day series on day one. Each video renders the night before its publish date and uploads at the time you set. Take a vacation; the series keeps shipping.
    
-   03
    
    ### Multi-channel portfolio rollout
    
    If you operate 3-5 niche channels, render once per niche and publish to the right channel automatically. The OAuth identity per workspace stays correct.
    

Verdict

## Bottom line

The YouTube integration is the fastest way to automatically post videos on autopilot. Setup takes under five minutes. If you're already publishing videos manually, this is the highest-impact change you can make this week.
