Outage in Swat.io
YouTube channels repeatedly disconnecting
Resolved MinorIncident Report
Summary AI Generated
YouTube channels in Swat.io repeatedly disconnected over a ~94-hour period due to a change YouTube made on their side that broke authorization for YouTube Brand Accounts. Affected users were unable to reliably publish to or retrieve data from their YouTube channels, and manual reconnections only provided temporary relief. YouTube reverted the change, restoring normal connectivity, with users advised to manually reconnect any channels still showing as disconnected.
We are currently investigating reports of YouTube channel connections becoming invalid for some customers. Affected channels may show as disconnected, and reconnecting them may only resolve the issue temporarily. During this time, publishing to and retrieving data from affected YouTube channels may not work as expected.
Our team is actively looking into the cause. We will post an update here as soon as we have more information.
