Adding YouTube Source
Curator pulls videos from YouTube through three source types: Channels, Playlists, and Hashtags. All source types work with public content and don't require you to own the channel.
YouTube sources only pull public videos. Private or unlisted content cannot be pulled.
YouTube Source Types
Channels — Pulls all videos from a specific YouTube channel.
Playlists — Pulls all videos from a specific YouTube playlist.
Hashtags — Pulls videos tagged with a specific hashtag.

YouTube source pulls videos when you add it, then refreshes based on your plan's update frequency (Free: 24 hours, Pro: 60 minutes, Business: 15 minutes).
Common Issues
No videos appearing — Verify the channel, playlist, or hashtag has public videos published.
Missing videos — Occasionally, some videos may be skipped when retrieving content from a channel. This is a rare issue and is due to limitations on YouTube’s end. Also, confirm you haven't hit your plan's post limit (Free: 1,000 posts).
Irrelevant Videos — YouTube Hashtag source may occasionally pull videos that aren’t directly related to the hashtag you entered. This happens due to how YouTube’s system indexes and returns hashtag results.
Limitations
Only public videos are pulled (private and unlisted videos are excluded)
Auto-play is not supported for YouTube posts at this time
Available on all plans (each Channel, Playlist, or Hashtag source counts as 1 source toward your limit)
