What is YouTube syndication?

YouTube syndication is a feature that allows you to share your YouTube videos on other websites and platforms. This can help increase the reach of your videos and attract more viewers. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to enable YouTube syndication for your channel.

How to enable YouTube syndication

Step 1: Sign in to Your YouTube Account

The first step is to sign in to your YouTube account. If you don't have an account, you can create one for free by clicking on the "Sign In" button on the top right corner of the YouTube homepage.

Step 2: Go to Your Channel Settings

Once you are signed in, click on your profile icon on the top right corner of the page and select "YouTube Studio" from the drop-down menu. This will take you to your channel's dashboard. From there, click on the "Settings" tab on the left side of the page.

Step 3: Navigate to the "Syndication" Tab

In the "Settings" tab, click on the "Channel" option from the menu on the left side of the page. This will open a new page with various settings for your channel. Scroll down until you find the "Syndication" tab and click on it.

Step 4: Enable Syndication for Your Channel

In the "Syndication" tab, you will see a toggle button next to the option "Allow embedding." Make sure the toggle is switched to the "On" position. This will enable syndication for your channel, allowing your videos to be shared on other websites and platforms.

Step 5: Save Your Changes

Once you have enabled syndication, click on the "Save" button at the bottom of the page to save your changes. You will see a confirmation message that syndication has been enabled for your channel.

Step 6: Share Your Videos on Other Platforms

Now that syndication is enabled for your channel, you can start sharing your videos on other websites and platforms. To do this, go to the video you want to share and click on the "Share" button below the video. You will see options to share the video on various platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit.

Additionally, you can embed your video on your own website or blog by copying the embed code provided by YouTube. This will allow visitors to your website to watch your video without leaving your site.

Step 7: Enable YouTube Syndication in the Shopper Approved Dashboard

There are two locations in which you can enable YouTube syndication in the Shopper Approved dashboard. The first location is right within the Manage Your Video Reviews section by clicking on the blue "Enable YouTube Posting" button.

Here you'll be asked to authorize Shopper Approved to post video reviews to your YouTube account and sign in.

The second location is by going to (top-left menu > Review Tools > Social Media Syndication > YouTube Syndication). Here you'll click on the Go to YouTube settings button and be asked to follow the same prompts above.
