* Good for video publishing workflows, metadata prep, and channel operations.
* YouTube integrations usually depend on the connected Google account owning or managing the correct channel.
* If uploads are missing, verify channel access first.

## Example prompts

* "Draft a YouTube title and description for this tutorial"
* "Prepare upload metadata for this new video"
* "Summarize recent YouTube channel performance"
* "Turn this release note into a YouTube description"

## If it does not work

* Start a new OpenClaw chat after installing the plugin
