๐Ÿ“ Channel Metadata

The Channel Metadata task updates channel data from the Linker sheet in [Accounts].xlsx.

Linker is the data source for this task. You do not need to fill [Channels].xlsx for metadata updates.

โš™๏ธ How to Enableโ€‹

  1. In the YouTube-Manager Configuration tab, select Channel Metadata.
  2. Open [Accounts].xlsx.
  3. Go to the second sheet, Linker.
  4. In the row for the required account, fill only the fields you want to change.
  5. Save the spreadsheet and run the template.

You can leave fields empty: if you only need to update the description or only the banner, fill only that column. Do not add random values to fields that should remain unchanged.

๐Ÿ“— Linker Fieldsโ€‹

Titleโ€‹

The new channel title.

Use plain text without unnecessary line breaks. If the field is empty, the channel title is not changed.

Usernameโ€‹

The new channel username without the @ symbol.

Example:

mytravelchannel

If the username is already taken or does not meet YouTube requirements, the template will not be able to apply it.

Descriptionโ€‹

The new channel description.

Use the text that should appear in the channel description.

Keywordsโ€‹

Channel keywords.

They are usually entered as comma-separated values:

travel, vlog, review, tutorial

Countryโ€‹

The channel country.

Use a country code, for example:

US
UA
DE

Path to a text file containing external links for the channel links section.

Example:

D:\YouTube\links.txt

Inside the file, add one link per line:

https://example.com
https://t.me/channel
https://example.com/contact

Avatarsโ€‹

Path to the image file used as the channel avatar.

Example:

D:\Images\avatar.jpg

Bannersโ€‹

Path to the image file used as the channel banner.

Example:

D:\Images\banner.jpg

๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Avatar and Bannerโ€‹

Before running the task, make sure the image paths exist and the files are readable. If a file was moved, deleted, or the path contains a typo, the template will not be able to upload the image.

Do not fill [Channels].xlsx: metadata updates use only the Linker sheet in [Accounts].xlsx. [Channels].xlsx is a report spreadsheet filled by the template.
