How to add a YouTube channel

To add your YouTube channel, paste its URL into a new link on your Linktree. Visitors who select your link go straight to your channel on YouTube, where they can browse your videos and subscribe. On a Pro or Premium plan, you can show your videos right on your Linktree and choose exactly which ones appear.

Add your channel

1. Go to My Linktree and select Edit to open the Links tab, then select + Add.
2. Paste your YouTube channel URL and select YouTube Channel from the results.
   • For example: https://youtube.com/@linktreeapp
3. Enter a Title for your link.
4. Select the box below the URL to open Channel content if you want to change which videos show or how they're sorted:
   • Videos to display: All uploads, Videos only, Shorts only, Playlist, or Select videos.
   • Sort by: Most recent, Most viewed, or Trending.
   • On Pro and Premium plans, select Connect and connect the YouTube account that owns the channel to use any option other than All uploads and Most recent.
5. Choose a Button layout: Classic, Image, Player, Carousel, Grid, Cards, or Profile.
   • Image is available on Starter, Pro, and Premium plans.
   • Player, Carousel, Grid, Cards, and Profile are available on Pro and Premium plans.
   • Profile shows your channel banner, logo, subscriber count, views, and number of videos. Connect your YouTube account to show your channel banner.
6. Turn on Ask visitors to subscribe if you want visitors to subscribe to your channel from your Linktree.
   • This option works with the Carousel, Grid, Cards, and Profile layouts.
7. Select the edit icon next to Thumbnail to add or change it.
8. Choose a Button interaction:
   • Go directly to YouTube channel: Visitors go to your channel on YouTube. In a Carousel, Grid, or Cards layout, each video links to YouTube.
   • Show more on Linktree first: Your videos play on your Linktree. This option is available on Pro and Premium plans.
