Elite account and YouTube account won't link up.

I've seen a few other people with this problem, and so far, I haven't seen anybody say anything about this issue getting resolved. I created my Elite account yesterday, and created a YouTube account as a part of the process for the Elite account. When I try to link it, it opens up the page to allow Call of Duty access to my YouTube account. After I choose accept, it takes me back to the Elite page, but something along the lines of "youtube_error=140" is added into the URL. When I scroll back down to the Vault, it shows that I have to create a channel, so when I click the link to create a channel, it taked me to YouTube, which immediately informs me there is already a username and channel for that account.
I've taken all the steps given in the recommended "help" for this problem to no avail. I have unlinked and relinked from both ends, revoked access and given it back, I have cleared my cache and cookies and attempted the process on Safari, Firefox, and Chrome, and still no luck.
Has anybody found a way to overcome this issue? Or do I need to just keep complaining to Activision until they clear this up for me?
Linking them up has never worked for me and reported it and just got copy/paste replies so don't hold your breath for them to resolve it. It still says I need to link up my accounts but on YT it says COD has permission but never worked, just another example of the broken product COD has become.
I reported it to Activision and once you give up with them trying to make out it's your fault they mark it as 'Resolved', which on paper for them looks good but in reality is wrong.

That happened to me too, it's very frustrating. I submitted a problem, Activision couldn't figure it out so they set the ticket to resolved.
I have never gotten this to work, I am having the same problem as you. I put in a support request and the analyst closed the case with no resolution. There wasnt even an explanation of why it wasnt working, rediculous.

I've got the exact same problem.Any ideas anyone? ![]()
I have the same problem! I've complained several time to support but no luck on this issue. I actually talked to them today. No updates.
Yep same issue. I have some awesome games I wan't to upload but I can't. This has been very irritating.

Have you guys tried linking a different account? I had the same problem originally. Wouldn't link up but I could still upload the videos to facebook. Then all of a sudden it started working by itself.
My account used to be linked, now it says link YT account. Not sure why it stopped working since I have successfully uploaded a video before.
Forget email, use the online support link here. I have had the same issues with email but when I used the online support I CANNOT fault them. Had to try a few different soloutions to my problem and it took about 30/40 mins. Click the online support button!
Oh god, this sounds like a nightmare I have gotten into already. :/
im having the same problem.......when i try to link the account, it asks me to grant permission (which i do), then it says i dont have the channel which i clearly do beacause it is taking me there!
i have the EXACT SAME PROBLEM, it says This account already has a username and channel. which irritates me soooooooo mush
I had this problem. I tried using a different computer, and then I was able to successfully link my accounts.
That doesn't work for me! T_T any other suggestions? Please?
Same problem for me i have some vids I wanna upload but i cant... ![]()
