Have you received this error?
There are no channels to select in the Broadcast To.
The list of channels is returned from YouTube and an empty list is usually caused by:
- The user that is logged into YouTube (from this system) does not have the permissions to administer the YouTube channel(s).
- Permission to manage the channel was not granted to this system when logged in. The permissions will appear as an "Allow" button or as a checkbox on the login dialog.
To correct this issue return to Channel > Syndications and logout of YouTube and log back in making sure to login as the correct user and grant all permissions when prompted.
