Getting Started

Quick Summary

TubeAnalytics setup takes approximately two minutes. Start by creating an account and connecting your YouTube channel using Google OAuth. TubeAnalytics requires only read-only permissions to securely fetch your data. Once connected, your dashboard immediately populates with real-time views, watch time, subscriber counts, and accurate RPM metrics.

Guide definition

Getting Started with TubeAnalytics is a 2-minute setup process that connects your YouTube channel to the platform's analytics dashboard. The setup requires a Google account that manages your YouTube channel, read-only API permissions, and approximately 2 minutes for the initial data sync. Once connected, TubeAnalytics displays real-time views, watch time, subscriber counts, and revenue data sourced directly from the YouTube Analytics API — not third-party estimates. The dashboard includes overview metrics across all videos, growth trends for the past 7 to 90 days, and alerts for subscriber milestones and unusual traffic changes. TubeAnalytics requests only read-only access, meaning the platform can never post on your behalf or modify your channel settings. This guide walks through each setup step in order: creating your account, connecting your channel, exploring the dashboard, customizing widgets, and configuring notifications.

Getting Started with TubeAnalytics is a 2-minute setup process that connects your YouTube channel to the platform's analytics dashboard. The setup requires a Google account that manages your YouTube channel, read-only API permissions, and approximately 2 minutes for the initial data sync.

This guide walks through each setup step in order: creating your account, connecting your channel, exploring the dashboard, customizing widgets, and configuring notifications.

Step 1: Create Your Account

Go to tubeanalytics.net/sign-up. Sign up with your email or Google account. Use the same Google account as your YouTube channel — it skips extra steps during connection.

Step 2: Connect Your YouTube Channel

After signing up, you'll see a prompt to connect your channel:

  1. Click Connect Channel on the onboarding screen
  2. Sign in with the Google account that manages your YouTube channel
  3. Grant TubeAnalytics permission to read your analytics data
  4. Wait for the initial sync (usually 1–2 minutes)

TubeAnalytics only needs view-only access. We can never post on your behalf or change your channel.

Step 3: Explore Your Dashboard

Once connected, your dashboard shows:

  • Overview metrics — views, watch time, subscribers, and revenue at a glance
  • Recent videos — how your latest uploads are performing
  • Growth trends — channel growth over the past 28 days
  • Top content — your best-performing videos

Step 4: Customize Your Dashboard

Click the settings icon to pick which metrics appear on your dashboard:

  • Drag widgets to rearrange them
  • Choose your time range (7 days, 28 days, 90 days)
  • Set alerts for subscriber milestones or view thresholds

Step 5: Set Up Notifications

Go to Settings > Notifications to turn on alerts for:

  • Subscriber milestones
  • Unusual traffic spikes or drops
  • Weekly performance summaries
  • Competitor activity (Professional plan and above)
