Finding Your YouTube Chat Channel ID

Google API Key

YouTube Chat support first requires an API key. This is a one time set up. If you already have an API key, skip to getting the channel name.

1. Go to this URL, and read the Before you start section. Follow steps 1 - 3. Step 4 is optional but helpful as CCI also uses JSON.

2. Go back to Step 2 and click on the Register your application, then find the URL to open your Credentials page, or open it directly from Google Cloud’s APIs and Services page. You should see something similar to this image. Copy out the key.

3. Open CCI’s mod config file in /config/contentcreatorintegration/ in your Minecraft install and find the googleApiKey field in the socket category. Put the key you copied there. Don’t forget the quotes.

YouTube Channel Name

1. Go to the channel which chat you want to listen to. (Alternatively, click on your profile picture in the top right and click Your channel in the dropdown)

2. In the URL, copy out the channel ID. It’s the part that starts with UC. If the URL points to youtube.com/user/<user>, that is fine too, but we’d prefer you find the channel ID. This is what CCI needs.
