YouTube Integration

YouTube is Faithmade's richest integration. Connect your church's YouTube channel to import sermon videos, link livestream events, and keep everything in sync.

What You Can Do​

  • Sermon Import — Pull YouTube videos directly into your sermon library with title, description, and thumbnail
  • Livestream Events — Link a YouTube livestream to any event on your site
  • Sync Status — See connection health at a glance

How to Connect​

  1. Go to Integrations in your Faithmade dashboard
  2. Find YouTube and click Connect
  3. Sign in with the Google account that manages your church's YouTube channel
  4. Authorize Faithmade to access your YouTube data
  5. You'll be redirected back with a "Connected" status
note

Sign in with the Google account that owns or manages the church's YouTube channel. If it's a Brand Account, you may need to select the right channel during sign-in.

Importing Sermons from YouTube​

  1. Go to Sermons > Add New Sermon
  2. Click Import from YouTube
  3. Browse recent uploads or search by title
  4. Select the video — Faithmade pulls in title, description, and thumbnail
  5. Add series, speaker, date, and other details
  6. Click Save
tip

You can always edit the imported title and description — YouTube titles tend to be SEO-heavy and may need a cleanup.

Linking a Livestream to an Event​

  1. Create or edit an Event in Faithmade
  2. Find the Livestream option
  3. Select YouTube as the source
  4. Choose the upcoming livestream or paste the stream URL
  5. Save

Sync Status​

  • Connected — all good
  • Needs Reauthorization — click Reconnect to refresh
  • Error — usually a quick disconnect/reconnect fixes it

Disconnecting from YouTube won't remove previously imported sermons from your site.
