- Choose the Google account (and, if asked, the channel) and approve the permissions: upload videos, view your YouTube account (your channel and playlists), and manage it to set thumbnails, add to playlists and post comments.
- You return to the Dashboard. The row shows the channel's handle and the YouTube Channel label.

- If you run a channel under a Brand Account, choose that channel in Google's account picker.
- The login renews itself (Active (auto-refresh)).
