Youtube to steam activation. [SOLVED]

[xIvoryRosex]

Okay, I have been attempting to link my youtube CHANNEL, not PROFILE, with my steam account.
Nothing is working! I have been attempting to do so for a long while!

My youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheRustyBubbles

Can anyone help with this issue?!

All u can do is link your YouTube profile in the Video section of your Steam profile.
If you want to share YouTube videos u have from your profile/channel, u can do this in your Steam video section.

To get this linkage to even work, u must fist go into your Google account and there is a section in the settings to allow access via 3rd party, u need to enable/allow Steam in there. After this then u can link your YouTube in Steam.

If u want to share your YouTube channel, you can add that link in your Profile settings, in the Summary box.

I've attempted to get into my google account do that but it doesn't work, any attempt of finding 3rd pary access is unavailable as it isn't there.

Once u add Steam via Manage Access in your Google account,
then go here > http://steamcommunity.com/id/RussD3x/videos
and click "Add Videos from YouTube"

Screenshots are a little dated yes, but under Account > Security u should be able to find it there.

[xIvoryRosex]

There is no security section udner Account... 0.o

I heard that you need to find your youtube channels personal email.. it's displayed under the name when you click the top right corner

mine comes up with:

Rusty Bubbles
rusty-bubbles-515...

That's only to revoke access though, it doesn't help me link my youtube channel with my steam account...

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Yea I was finally able to get into my Google/YouTube accounts to double check.
Everything so changed around now I don't know where to look.
Used to be so easy before.

I have YouTube videos on my Steam account and my YouTube linked to my Steam (did this years ago) and yet in Google > Security, there is nothing listed for 3rd party app access. Same when I look within my YouTube settings.

So now I'm all confused...

Crap is worse than Facebook the way they keep changing stuff around.

Okay, I just did it! WOO!

Right, so first of all you go to your main youtube account, the main email. Base account.
Not channel.

Go to youtube settings.
Then go to advanced.
Click dropdown menu and select channel wanted.
save settings
link with steam normally.
voila!


Thank god I figured it out!

How do I add steam as a 3rd party to that list?

You no longer need too. Just follow the instructions I have just stated in my previous comment and it should be fine, after thsi it appears inside the place where you can revoke access.

Ok did that, got to the advanced page from the youtube settings link but where is there a drop menu?? https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=BCD230EF4944B94!3752&authkey=!AGkYnD2xaUIPM0s&v=3&ithint=photo%2c.JPG
