YouTube

Connect YouTube and Viro works from your own account: your playlists, the videos you've liked, the channels you subscribe to, and your channel's uploads with their views. It can also make a playlist or add videos to one. Every playlist change is shown on a card first, and nothing happens until you confirm.

• List your playlists and the videos in them
• Show the videos you've liked, newest first
• Tell you what's new from the channels you subscribe to
• Show a channel's latest uploads, including your own channel's videos with their view counts and your subscriber count
• Make a new playlist with videos in it, after you confirm. New playlists are private unless you ask otherwise
• Add videos to one of your playlists, after you confirm

Viro can't:

• See your watch history or Watch Later. YouTube doesn't share them with any app
• Search all of YouTube for you. Paste links, or ask it to use videos you've liked or that came up in a web search
• Upload, comment, like, subscribe, or delete anything
• Remove videos from a playlist or delete a playlist

   Check that it's connected

   Back in Viro, YouTube is listed under Yours.

Once it's connected, just ask in any chat. For example:

• "What playlists do I have on YouTube?"
• "What have I liked lately on YouTube?"
• "What's new from the channels I subscribe to?"
• "How are my YouTube videos doing?"
• "Make a YouTube playlist of these tutorials: [links]"

Ask for one and give it the videos: links you paste, videos you've liked, or ones from a web search. Viro shows a card with the playlist's name, who can see it, and the videos. Nothing is created until you select Create playlist. Then Open in YouTube takes you to it. Adding to an existing playlist works the same way with Add videos. A card holds up to 20 videos, and a video already in the playlist isn't added twice.

Google has no narrower permission for making playlists, so its screen lists both View your YouTube account and Manage your YouTube account. Viro uses the second one only to create playlists and add videos, after you confirm on the card. If you untick it, Viro can still answer questions about your YouTube. When you ask for a playlist change, the card asks you to reconnect and allow it.

Disconnect YouTube in Customize > Connectors and connect it again, picking the Google account or Brand Account that owns your channel. The Google account you pick doesn't have to be the one you sign in to Viro with.

Using YouTube through Viro means you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service. YouTube data is handled under the Google Privacy Policy and Viro AI's own privacy policy.
