How can i connect instagram to youtube
Status: Open · Asked by harsh30ss on · 0 views
I completed all triggers, but at the end, when I was mapping YouTube to Instagram. It's asking for a Google Drive file id, rather, which channel I want to upload the video to.
my objective is whenever i upload reels on instagram i will also automatic uploaded on my youtube channel too.
App Events is Upload Events.

Hi @harsh30ss,
Thank you for reaching out.
If you are using the YouTube “Upload Video” action, the video will be uploaded to the channel connected in your YouTube (Google) account—you don’t need to manually select the channel during mapping.
Regarding the Google Drive File ID field:
- This is provided to handle cases where your video file is large
- You can upload the video to Google Drive and then pass the File ID / link here
- This helps avoid any file size limitations during upload
But i have multiple YouTube accounts on the same Google id.
But i have multiple YouTube accounts on the same Google id.
In that case, you would need to create a new connection with your YouTube account and select the channel to which you want to upload the file. Please refer to the documentation shared below to understand how to do so.

A practical way to connect Instagram and YouTube is to use an automation platform that can transfer content between both channels. This is especially useful for repurposing Instagram Reels as YouTube Shorts and maintaining a consistent publishing schedule. It can save time and help creators focus on content quality and audience engagement.
