No More Automatic YouTube Posting to Twitter and Google+

Share this article > > >

YouTube reports via an email to content creators that after January 31, the ability to automatically post YouTube activity (uploads, liked videos, etc.) on Twitter and Google+ will no longer be available.

We’ve found that sharing these actions with a custom message (instead of through automatically generated posts) provides a better experience for the sharer and their followers on other social networks.

You can, however, continue to easily share videos to your social network. On the watch page on any device: click Share, then click on the social network icon.
