How to Connect YouTube Analytics to Data Studio
Connect your YouTube channel to Data Studio using Data Bloo's free connector. This guide walks you through the setup step by step.
Prerequisites
How to Connect
Sign in to Data Bloo
Visit hub.databloo.com and click Sign in, log in using Google or your email and password.
Navigate to the YouTube Analytics data source
After logging in, go to Data Sources from the left menu and click the YouTube Analytics tile under "Add new data source".
Connect to YouTube
Click "Connect with YouTube" to start the Google authorization, then approve the read scopes so Data Bloo can read your reports, your video metadata and, optionally, your revenue.
Select your channels
Choose one or more channels to connect, you can even select all of them, then click Connect Selected Accounts.
Review the connection
Your connected channels appear under the YouTube Analytics data source. You can add more or disconnect at any time, then click Data Studio to proceed.
Authorize in Data Studio
Authorize both the connector and your YouTube data. Click "Edit and share", then "Acknowledge and save", and wait a few seconds for the report to generate.
View the YouTube report
Your dashboard loads with key metrics, views, estimated minutes watched, average view duration, likes and subscribers gained, plus video and traffic-source breakdowns.
Optional: add demographics and retention
Build demographics on a separate chart with Viewer percentage, and put retention on its own page filtered to a single video, since YouTube only returns those fields that way.
Troubleshooting
Data Bloo does not store your YouTube data. All access is read-only and securely pulled via the YouTube Analytics and Data APIs.
This connector lets you aggregate data from multiple accounts, or all accounts, into one report for your reporting.

Thousands of marketers already rely on us for multi-channel reports
An excellent and essential service for digital agencies. The connectors and templates saved our team a huge amount of time while presenting client data clearly. Please take my money!
As an agency, we bought the master template and absolutely love it. Clearly built by people who understand real agency needs, the connector makes Meta-to-Looker effortless.
We deliver multi-channel reports with minimal setup. Duplicate, reconnect client assets, share, no rebuilding dashboards. A practical solution for consistent reporting.
I’ve tried dozens of Data Studio dashboards, but this is by far my favorite. When I presented it, all of my clients loved it so much we switched them over.
As an SEO agency, the dashboards are beautifully designed and incredibly fast. What used to take us hours to compile is now automated and visually impressive.
The automated dashboards don’t just save us time, they’ve elevated the quality of insights we provide. Any agency still reporting manually is throwing money away.

Yes. The Free tier includes 1 account per connector and up to 300 daily refreshes (API calls), with no credit card required.
Once you reach 300 daily API calls on the free tier, refreshes pause until the next day. Upgrade any time for higher limits and more connected accounts.
Your data refreshes on demand and on the Data Studio schedule, up to 300 times per day on the free plan.
Yes. Connect one or many channels, even all of them, and aggregate the data into a single report.
All 84 fields, 40 metrics and 44 dimensions. Video views, Engaged views, Estimated minutes watched, Average view duration (sec) and percentage, Likes, Dislikes, Comments, Shares, Gained and Lost subscribers, card and annotation metrics, plus revenue fields when the monetary scope is granted.
Three read-only scopes: yt-analytics.readonly for the reports, youtube.readonly for video and channel metadata such as titles and thumbnails, and yt-analytics-monetary.readonly if you want revenue. None of them can change your channel.
Yes, once the monetary scope is approved at connect time and the channel is monetised. Estimated revenue, Gross revenue, CPM, Playback based CPM, Ad impressions, Monetized playbacks and the YouTube Premium fields are all available.
That is a YouTube API rule, not a connector limit. The demographic dimensions only return alongside the Viewer percentage metric, which reports a share of viewers rather than a count. Build that chart with Viewer percentage and it works.
Retention is measured against one video timeline, so Elapsed video time ratio, Audience watch ratio and Relative retention performance require a filter on a single video. Pick one video in the chart filter and the fields return.
Channel total page views, Channel total subscribers and Channel total video count come from the YouTube Data API as all-time figures. They are not a daily series, so they never split by date and cannot be summed across rows.
The reporting API returns video IDs only, so Data Bloo enriches them from the YouTube Data API: titles, descriptions, thumbnails, durations, tags and privacy status all arrive with the same pull.
Yes. Every template is fully customizable, swap logos, colors and layout to deliver white-label YouTube dashboards under your own brand.
No. The YouTube Analytics connector is fully no-code. Connect your channel, pick one of our ready-to-use, Google-featured templates, and the report builds itself, no SQL, no scripts, no manual CSV exports.
