How To Add Patreon To Your YouTube Channel. Patreon Channel Basics For YouTube

This is a step by step and click by click guide on how to add Patreon to your YouTube channel. Patreon channel basics for YouTube.

Hi everyone,
I couldn't find a video on YouTube showing me how to connect my Patreon account to my YouTube channel regarding what buttons to click to do this. I could find Patreon videos telling me it was a good idea, why I should do it and Patreon basics for YouTube but none just showing me what to do. This video wont tell you how to use Patreon in 2021 but it will show you how to put a Patreon link on your YouTube account so that you can utilize patreon for YouTube.

There might be Patreon videos on YouTube showing how to connect Patreon to your YouTube account but I just couldn't find them so I figured it out myself the old fashioned way by clicking on everything until I worked it out 😆

I then decided to make this simple video so, if like I was, you are struggling to figure out how to add your Patreon account to your YouTube account then hopefully I can help some of you get it sorted.

If you enjoyed my video and would like to support me to make more then you could show your appreciation at

Thank you 🙂

I hope you find this useful. If you do then please like, share and subscribe.
Thanks very much and take care 🙂

This video was filmed using just a Google Pixel mobile phone and hand held Gorilla Pod tripod.

really useful and easy to follow! I wish more YouTubers would make videos where it shows them doing everything step by step!

what I needed. Obviously I'm just starting out too, so, what struck me most (aside from actual lesson here) was your total honesty about being new and not having mastery over editing etc. Perfect video mate. Well very helpful to me. Good luck :)

3:05 you cant publish, but ok (you need to play with the link first)

i cannot get this to work - the warning triangle at the top never goes away and i cannot publish. Are there restrictions? Do I have to change the patreon widget?

[queenasia]

Getting the url required notice and won't publish. Same as in your video. Any advice?

[KismetBP]

Somehow I never got around to do this! Thanks for this guide & much love!

I am having trouble finding the PROMOTE button . I'm guessing there was an update to the Patreon site/layout. I cannot find where they keep the embed code now?

[BryanCafferky]

Very helpful. Thanks. I did have to remove the HTML tags around the link to get the link accepted but then good to go.

Hello. Thanks for the video. However, if you go to 3:10, you are getting exactly what I am seeing when I try to paste what I copied. The red exclamation next to Basic Info. The error is telling me the URL is required. What I copied from Patreon to paste there is exactly what you did. I cannot PUBLISH at this point. Any thoughts? Thank you

[SpiritualWhiplash]

Thank So grateful you took the time the share this how to 🙏🏼

[TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thanks so much! This was very helpful.

Hi i have tried to do this but it doesnt let me click publish as this is not a URL link but an embed link, even in your video it doesn't let you publish as the button is not highlighted but grey.

Content does matter first & foremost. Well done, sir.

[kjfury]

Do I need YouTube tv to link patreon. Copy and paste didn’t go through

[blackpassenger]

Big thanks for the vid. Is it possible to make the viewing of specific vids on my you tube account, available only to my patrons?

[Manyroadsnorules]

Thank you so much for the step by step!!! Absolutely necessary! After I followed all the steps, I got a long list of coding language but I guess that is because I just created the Patreon page and videos will start uploading this upcoming week, the whole system may be still getting set. Again, thank you for the turorial

[Countryboy]

[SMEInkJet]

Very helpful. Very easy to follow - thank you!

[ArtSurvivesArtist]

How did you overcome the error that comes up concerning it not being a valid url? It won't let me publish it.

[jackhartford]

All right great that now has the link in my YouTube channel homepage. Any idea how to get it onto my individual videos?
