I have clients that give us manager access to their profiles on Youtube. Is it possible to add this integration to add channels that we manage and not own?
This works today for client channels that are Brand Accounts. When you connect YouTube, pick the client's Brand Account in Google's account chooser instead of your personal Google identity, and Zernio connects that channel with your manager access.
The requirement is that you hold owner or manager access on the Brand Account itself (account.google.com/brandaccounts). YouTube Studio's "Manage access" delegation does not grant YouTube Data API access at all, so channels shared with you only that way cannot be connected by any tool, ours included. The fix in that case is asking the client to add you as a Brand Account manager.
