YouTube Integration for Aivara Social
Public information for users and reviewers about how Aivara Social connects authorized YouTube channels, selects an exact destination, and performs user-requested video publishing.
Last updated: September 9, 2026
What Aivara Social does
Aivara Social is a social scheduling and publishing interface operated by Aivara Solutions LLC. Authorized users can connect their own YouTube channels, create a post, choose the exact connected destination, provide video metadata, and request publishing from the same dashboard used for other supported social platforms.
Aivara Social uses the YouTube Data API v3. Aivara Solutions is not endorsed, sponsored, certified, or operated by YouTube or Google.
How authorization works
- The user selects Connect YouTube in Aivara Social.
- The user is redirected to Google OAuth and chooses a Google account.
- Google displays the permissions requested by Aivara Social.
- The user explicitly authorizes access and returns to Aivara Social.
- Aivara resolves and displays the authorized YouTube channel.
- The connection can later be disconnected or reconnected by the user.
Permissions we request
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonlyUsed to identify and display the exact YouTube channel authorized by the user.
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.uploadUsed only when an authorized user explicitly requests a video upload or publishing action.
Exact channel selection
Separately authorized YouTube channels may coexist. For each post, the user selects the exact connected YouTube destination. Aivara does not arbitrarily route a post to another channel.
Video publishing
The publishing interface supports a video, title, description, tags, category, privacy setting, and Made for Kids selection. Aivara sends content only after the user submits a publish-now or scheduled action.
Privacy and data handling
- OAuth credentials are stored by the encrypted server-side credential system.
- Connected-account data is separated by the authorized account or tenant.
- YouTube and Google data is used only for requested connection and publishing features.
- Aivara does not sell Google user data or OAuth credentials.
- Provider video IDs and status may be retained to display publishing history and results.
- No credentials, access tokens, refresh tokens, or service keys are exposed on this page.
Disconnecting YouTube from Aivara
- Log in to Aivara Social.
- Open Social Scheduler, then Settings.
- Locate the connected YouTube channel.
- Select Disconnect.
- The connection is disabled for future publishing requests.
Users can also revoke access at the Google account level through Google Account → Security or third-party connections → Aivara Social → Remove access. Disconnecting does not delete videos already uploaded to YouTube. Account-associated deletion requests may also be sent to kevin@aivarasolutions.com.
