All you have to do is to authorize the plugin to retrieve your analytics data from your Youtube account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Youtube Analytics Dashboard Authorization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to authorize <em>YouTube Analytics<\/em> to retrieve reports and data from your YouTube account, you need to go through a simple authorization process. To authorize the plugin go to <em>Settings<\/em> -&gt; <em>YT Dashboard<\/em> and press the button called <em>Authorize Application<\/em>. You will be redirected to your <em>WordPress Administration Dashboard<\/em> to generate your access code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube Analytics Dashboard for WordPress\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/70Jsj0G16FU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To generate the access code, press the link called <em>Get Access Code<\/em>, a window will open in a new tab asking you to allow specific data from your YouTube account to be used by YouTube Analytics Dashboard for WordPress. After agreement, an access code will be provided by Google API. Copy the code, paste it in your WordPress dashboard on the field called <em>Access Code<\/em> and save it by pressing the <em>Save Access Code<\/em> button (for a short demo, watch the video tutorial from above).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After completing the authorization process, the page reloads and a red dashboard will appear, containing a chart with statistics and reports retrieved from your YouTube account. The dashboard will display statistics like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>number of views<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>minutes watched<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>average view duration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>video likes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>video dislikes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>number of comments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By checking <em>use your own API Project credentials<\/em>, web developers or multiple websites owners can choose to create their own API Project and to use it with this plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">YouTube Analytics Dashboard Settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After completing the authorization process, you can go back to plugin&#8217;s option page to make some additional settings on the way YouTube Analytics displays your reports.

You can choose to allow your contributors, editors or authors to see your YouTube Analytics dashboard in their administration area. If you have a big website it may be a good idea to let your team or partners to see how your YouTube channel is performing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Stats Section<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the option called <em>show additional stats like engagement and annotations performance<\/em>, you can display more insights, in a table, regarding your YouTube channel performance. Using this option, you can have a quick overview of Favorites Added, Favorites Removed, Subscribers Gained, Subscribers Lost, Shares, Annotation Click Through Rate, Annotation Close Rate in a table, on your WordPress Administration Dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the drop-down menu called <em>CSS Settings<\/em>, you can select which theme fits your needs: the light theme, which works great with mobile devices, or the red theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cache Settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These settings are used to improve the loading speed of your YouTube Analytics dashboard.
