Wistia’s integration with YouTube
The Wistia + YouTube integration makes it simple to share your videos with the world, or go live to your YouTube audience. Publish to YouTube in a single click to reach new viewers and track performance right from Wistia. Hosting a webinar or live event? That’s easy, too. Simulcast it to YouTube to expand your audience without a bunch of extra setup.
How the Wistia + YouTube integration works
Publish to YouTube right from Wistia
Publish videos in your Wistia library directly to YouTube in seconds. Tap into YouTube’s global audience to grow your reach and get your content in front of more people all without leaving Wistia.
Go live and get more eyeballs
Host your webinars with Wistia and simulcast to YouTube to make your events accessible to a broader audience. A simple RTMP setup makes it easy to go live on both platforms while keeping all your event management in Wistia.
Track performance all in one place
Compare video performance across Wistia embeds and YouTube shares to see where your content gains the most traction. You’ll see everything in Wistia’s video analytics dashboard to get a full picture of how your videos perform in different locations.
