Supported YouTube sources in Walls.io

Walls.io supports these YouTube source types:

  • Keywords/Hashtags

  • Profiles

  • Playlists

  • Shorts

The YouTube API only provides us with access to public content. If, for example, a playlist or a video is private, we will not be able to display that content on your social wall.

Connect your Google account to Walls.io

To add a YouTube profile, keyword, or playlist as a source to your social wall, you first need to connect your Google account to Walls.io. To accomplish that, just go to Setup > Sources in your Walls.io dashboard, select YouTube and click connect.

You will get the option to select between a personal or a brand account (if you have one). Select the one you want and click "Allow" to give Walls.io all the necessary permissions. This is something you only need to set up once.

How to add a YouTube keyword source to your social wall

To add YouTube keyword sources to your social wall, go to Setup > Sources in your Walls.io dashboard and select YouTube > Keyword. Add the keyword you would like to pull content for and click "Add".

Adding YouTube profile content to your social wall

To add YouTube profiles as sources to your social wall, go to Setup > Sources in your Walls.io dashboard and select YouTube > Profile. Add the profile URL you would like to pull content from and click "Add".
​ 

Adding YouTube playlist content to your social wall

To add YouTube playlists as sources to your social wall, go to Setup > Sources in your Walls.io dashboard and select YouTube > Playlist. Add the YouTube playlist URL you would like to pull content from and click "Add".
​  

You can add content filters for all the YouTube sources if you want to refine the content we collect and display on your social wall.

🔎 In comparison to other platforms (i.e. Instagram, Twitter), there is no time limit on posts when adding a new keyword/hashtag source.
