Pair and unpair YouTube

Webcaster X2 uses the YouTube API to get a special device pairing code that you simply need to let YouTube know about. Then your Webcaster X2 is authorized to stream to your YouTube channel. It couldn't be easier!

You can unpair your Webcaster X2 from your YouTube account with Webcaster X2 or (partly) through the Google permissions portal.

To pair and unpair your Webcaster X2 with your YouTube (Google) account, you need:

• A Webcaster X2 that is connected to the Internet
• (Optional) An HDMI display connected to your Webcaster X2
• (Optional) A USB mouse connected to your Webcaster X2
• A computer, tablet or mobile device

1. Look at the front screen display for your YouTube device pairing code or click the Pair icon if you're using an attached HDMI display.
If your Webcaster X2 is paired with your Google account from a previous session, your account name displays instead of a new pairing code. If no code appears, check that you still have an Internet connection or whether you are still logged in to a captive WiFi network, see Use a captive WiFi network that's password protected .
