Your YouTube Analytics channel report as an Apple TV dashboard
YouTube Analytics tells a content team whether last week's upload found an audience, but only the person logged into Studio sees it. Dance Party puts that channel report on the office display: daily views and watch hours, subscribers gained, the videos pulling the most views, and whether traffic came from search or suggested videos, as an Apple TV dashboard the whole team walks past.
- Read-only
- OAuth connection
- One connection per workspace

What teams running YouTube Analytics put on the screen, and what you would ask DJ Agent to get it.
Channel scorecard
For the content and video team
Views, watch hours, and net subscribers are the three numbers every YouTube team reports up. Keeping them on the wall means the Monday update is already done, and a flat week is obvious by Wednesday.
- Views over the last 7, 28, or 90 days
- Watch time in hours from estimated minutes watched
- Net subscribers: gained minus lost in the window
- Likes across the channel
Ask DJ Agent“Show our YouTube channel's views, watch hours, net subscribers and likes for the last 28 days, labeled with the date the data runs through.”
Top videos this month
For producers, editors, and social
The videos that pull views in a month are rarely the ones the team expected. A ranked list by the edit bay shows which topics and formats to make more of, with thumbnails people recognize at a glance.
- Up to 25 videos ranked by views in the window
- Watch time and likes for each video
- Title, thumbnail, and publish date from the channel
Ask DJ Agent“Rank our top 5 YouTube videos by views in the last 28 days with their thumbnails and watch hours.”
Road to 100K subscribers
For the whole company
A subscriber milestone is a goal everyone understands, even people who never open YouTube Studio. The bar on the office display turns every upload into a small moment for the team.
- Current subscriber count, as YouTube rounds it
- Net subscribers gained this quarter
- Progress toward a milestone you set
Ask DJ Agent“Show our YouTube subscriber count against a 100,000 goal, with net subscribers gained over the last 90 days underneath.”
Where our views come from
For content strategy and SEO
YouTube search, suggested videos, and external links each call for different work. Seeing the split every day tells the team whether titles and thumbnails are winning suggested traffic or whether search is carrying the channel.
- Views by traffic source type for the window
- Each source's share of total views
- Shorts feed views next to long-form sources
Ask DJ Agent“Show YouTube views by traffic source for the last 28 days as bars, with each source's share of views.”
What Dance Party reads from YouTube Analytics
Dance Party reads the YouTube Analytics API and the YouTube Data API with Google's two read-only YouTube scopes. It reads the one channel owned by the Google account or Brand Account you sign in with, and it has no access to revenue reports.

How to connect YouTube Analytics
Before you start
- An owner or admin of your Dance Party workspace makes the YouTube Analytics connection.
- The Google account that owns the YouTube channel, or a manager of the Brand Account that owns it
- No API key. Google handles sign-in and shows the read-only YouTube permissions
- 1On the Integrations page in Dance Party, click Connect YouTube Analytics on its card.
- 2In Google's account chooser, pick the account that owns the channel. If the channel lives on a Brand Account, pick the Brand Account, not your personal profile.
- 3Review the two read-only YouTube permissions, for viewing your YouTube account and your YouTube Analytics reports, and click Allow.
- 4Google sends you back to Dance Party and the card shows Connected.
One YouTube Analytics connection per workspace
A workspace connects one YouTube channel, the one owned by the Google account or Brand Account chosen at sign-in. A company with a second channel, such as a separate product or regional channel, uses a second Dance Party workspace for it.
Read-only. The connection holds Google's youtube.readonly and yt-analytics.readonly scopes, so it cannot upload, edit, delete, or comment on videos, and it has no revenue scope. Remove Dance Party any time from your Google Account under Third-party connections.
From YouTube Analytics to your office display
Once YouTube Analytics shows Connected, the rest happens in plain English. No code, no drag-and-drop.

YouTube Analytics dashboard questions
Can I show YouTube Analytics on an office display with Apple TV?
Yes. Connect the channel, describe the board to DJ Agent, and assign it to a screen running the Dance Party Apple TV app. YouTube boards refresh hourly or slower, which matches how often YouTube updates the reports.
Why are yesterday's YouTube numbers missing?
YouTube publishes daily rows two to three days late. Every Dance Party board is labeled with the date its data runs through instead of claiming to show today.
Why don't the numbers match YouTube Studio exactly?
Studio and the YouTube Analytics API are counted separately, and Google says they can differ. Dance Party shows the API's figures and labels them that way. Views counting also changed on August 27, 2026, so a step up across that date is not growth.
My channel is on a Brand Account. Will it work?
Yes. Pick the Brand Account in Google's account chooser when you connect. Signing in as your personal profile finds no channel, and you would need to reconnect.
Can it show impressions click-through rate, audience retention, or revenue?
No. Dance Party reads views, watch time, subscriber change, likes, top videos, and traffic sources. Impressions CTR, retention curves, demographics, and revenue are not part of what it reads.
Can Dance Party change anything on my channel?
No. Both scopes are read-only. It cannot upload, edit titles, delete videos, reply to comments, or change channel settings.
