Linking to Social Media Channels

[Phil Vanderloo]

Hi,
I'm trying to edit my youtube channel to link to a specific Twitter feed and my biz facebook page. For whatever reason youtube automatically wants to link to my personal twitter and fb page and isn't letting me change that. Is there a way I can change this?
Thanks

I have a facebook personal account and a facebook business page, twitter personal and twitter biz. I want my youtube channel to link to both biz accounts but it automatically goes to both personal accounts and I'm hoping I can change that??

I'm not sure about the twitter business page, but I had the same problem with facebook on there. What I did is; I created a twitter for the9one8 (separate email and everything since I don't really use personal twitter to begin with). Then I linked my twitter to my facebook business page. So now when I do something on youtube, it links to the twitter which then links to the facebook page.
Like I said, I don't know about the twitter business page, but you could try to link it that way.

I guess youtube won't let up link to FB biz pages for whatever reason. I thought it might work if I switched users on facebook and then re-enabled the youtube connection but it said I need to switch back to my personal facebook account before it can link up.

You need to cancel the link between your personal Facebook and then go to the sidebar on your channel, click edit and add a link in the normal way (like you would for a general website other than FB or Twitter). Put the URL to your business FB & Twitter here and after you click save a little logo will appear beside them.
It's how I had to do it as I didn't want my YouTube page linked to my personal Facebook but my FB Fan Page instead. Click on my channel to see how it looks (it appears slightly differently than linking the accounts directly).

Awesome. That sounds like the ticket. Thank You Ellie.
