Connect Your YouTube Account

If you don't see the ability to authenticate to YouTube, please reach out to your Hudl representative.

For any YouTube account related issues please contact YouTube support.

Your team will need to create a YouTube account in order to livestream Hudl Focus games online. Learn how to create your YouTube account here. Ideally, your organization will set up their own private YouTube channel for all teams to stream events. Individual teams may also set up their own YouTube accounts for streaming purposes.

Be sure to set up your YouTube account at least 24 hours before your first game.
