# YouTube in ninedot

Subscribers, views and uploads for every channel you run. A channel's public statistics: subscribers, total views, video count, its latest uploads and their views.

## What you get
- Subscribers, as YouTube shows them publicly (rounded to three figures) (measured)
- Total channel views and number of videos (exact)
- Last upload, and average views across the latest five (exact)
- Subscriber history, kept from every read (measured)

## Limits
- Public figures only: watch time, revenue and analytics need YouTube's private API, which isn't connected yet.
- Read twice a day, not live.
- A channel that hides its subscriber count shows views only.

## Adding it

1. Add the channel: Add a business with the channel's address (youtube.com/@yourchannel) to track a channel on its own, or open any business → Add a service → YouTube to put a SaaS's own channel next to it.
2. That's it: Nothing to connect and no sign-in: ninedot reads the channel's public statistics from YouTube twice a day.

## Questions
**Can ninedot track a YouTube channel as a business?** Yes. Add a business with the channel's URL and ninedot follows its subscribers, views and uploads twice a day, next to anything it costs or earns. Channels aren't pinged for uptime.

**Do I need to connect my YouTube account?** No. ninedot reads public channel statistics, so there's nothing to sign in to. Subscriber counts are labelled measured because YouTube rounds them publicly.

**Can I add my SaaS's YouTube channel to the business?** Yes. On the business, choose Add a service → YouTube and paste the channel's address or @handle. Its audience shows alongside the product's stack.
