Problems syncing Elite with YouTube
-
Like (0)
Ok so I've tried on several different computers using several different browsers to sync my Elite account with my YouTube account with no luck. I go through the whole process of clicking through the links, signing into YouTube, going back to Elite, getting "oops you need to start a channel", going to YouTube and it telling me the account already has a channel. I would really like to upload some of my footage and any help I can get would be much appreciated!
Hello Semperfi989,
Have you tried unlinking then re-linking your gamertag/SEN ID from your Elite account?
After searching a little bit I was able to deny access to callofduty.com on YouTube which I assume terminates the link? I then tried to reestablish the link through Elite and still got the same error. Any other ideas? Also thank you for the quick reply!
Hi again Semperfi989,
Below is a link that will walk you through unlinking and linking:

Ok I followed those steps but got the same results. Is there anything else I can try or am I screwed?
Maybe you're screwed like i am..I've followed all the steps, tried diferent browsers and methods and still nothing..As for the so called ELITE_Help, it only helps you in what you already know..they are incapable of telling you: 'The youtube/elite syncing system is broken and we don't care..'
Eh I think Elite is actually well put together and has some uniqueness. You can only fix one thing at a time though and I'd rather them be workingon fixing things in-game truthfully. I appreciate the input though. Perhaps it is time to just invest in a game capture device of sorts.
Thanks for your patience Semperfi989,
At the very least I'll forward this issue for investigation.
'I'd rather them be workingon fixing things in-game truthfully.'
in this i agree with you
Hi Semperfi989,
It might not work, but have you tried clearing your browser's cache and cookies before unlinking and linking your gamertag/SEN ID?
No luck
Just to be clear, this is the error I'm getting from Elite: "Oops! You need to first create a YouTube channel which creates a YouTube account for you. Click the "Create Channel" link below. You'll be sent to YouTube to create your channel. Once done, come back here and re-initiate the YouTube account linking process." and this is the error I'm getting from YouTube: "This account already has a username and channel."
Thanks for letting me know about that Semperfi989.
Any word back on this ELITE_Help?
Hey I'm still waiting to hear back on this. I would really like to upload some videos to youtube so I'd appreciate a response ASAP ![]()
1 week no reply... Question still unanswered... 1800 views... I'm not the only one having the problem... GHANDI, Elite_Help, someone please reply...
What ELITE_Help should be saying is that there hasn't been a resolution to this issue yet. It has been MONTHS with this issue and it still hasn't been resolved. Sadly, there hasn't been any NEW info on this issue so all we can do is wait until the Elite workers / developers fix this bug. ![]()
ELITE help have same problem.....
I am having the exact same issue. Works fine with my old youtube account but I can't connect my new one. Running into the same issue.
This has still not been resolved... Can we please get this fixed before BLOPS2?
