Having your youtube videos in your facebook tab may increase the views for your youtube videos that you are getting and increase your exposure. Integrating your youtube channel to your Facebook fan page is a great addition as it will help your page visitors to know you more.
The good thing about the app that i’m sharing that it does give you the ability to share your videos automatically with your fans whenever you upload a video to your channel, and has a great display for the videos.
So I’ll teach you in this tutorial how to add a youtube channel tab to your facebook fan page, like the one in the image below.
- click here to check it out
I installed the app for Temporary time so the example above is form Basicblogtips fan page owned by Ms.Ileane.
Installing the Youtube app to your facebook page - Step 1
- go to the Involver Gallery
1- Choose the page that you want to add the youtube channel tab to.
2- Click on ” Add Youtube for Pages”.
- They will ask you for a permission and you will have to click on ” confirm”. Then,
1- Type your user/channel name.
2- Check this box if you want to import your channel videos.
3- Check this box if you want to import your favorite youtube videos.
4- Check this box if you want to allow comments below the video in your Youtube tab ( facebook comment system).
5- Check this box if you want to hide related videos.
6- Select which video should be the feature video in your tab.
7- Check this box if you want to automatically post your newest youtube videos into your facebook page wall.
8- Click on “Save Changes” to save your changes.
Change the Youtube channel tab Name - Step 2
Go to your facebook page settings >> Click on ” Apps”, then follow the image bellow.
1- Click on ” edit settings”.
2- Type the name that you want.
3- Click on ” save”.
4- Click on ” Okay”.
Finally you need to check your youtube channel tab - Step 3
I installed the app for Temporary time so the example down below is from Basicblogtips fan page owned by Ms.Ileane.
- click here to check it out
Now that you know how to import youtube channel videos to facebook fan page, Go ahead and create yours

I’ve been wondering about importing youtube vids into fan pages and after searching came across your site. I’ve got to say you make it very easy to understand with step by step instructions and clear easy to see images, I wish other sites explained technical things with such clarity.

Great tutorial again, unfortunately, I haven’t yet had the nerve to do a video. I know I have to, and soon. Perhaps I should have a mantra @I will make a Youtube video’ .

Thank you this is very helpful! I added my YouTube channel to my Facebook Page, but there was nowhere to change the title of the tab under the Facebook app settings. I think it’s pretty self-explanatory thought.
Really appreciate the guidance. Great post!

Hi Carolyn, thanks a lot for giving my blog a visit
really appreciate it and glad you like the tutorial.
Please if you can print screen your apps settings page, I hope that I can help you figure it out.
I didn’t have any idea that something like this can be done, this is great! Importing YT channel videos on a Facebook fan page will raise the views of a video, will bring traffic, subscribers and so many more, this indeed is a very smart move. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Shakil
I’m having trouble changing my “featured video.” Can you only choose from your most recent uploads? I want to choose one I uploaded last month but is not an option. Can anyone help? Thanks!

you can do that by choosing the ( latest video).. Thanks.
Hi,
I like your tutorials – very straightforward and easy to follow with the visuals you provide.
I’ve had difficulty adding new app tabs to my Facebook “page” and was wondering if you had any experience with this and maybe some suggestions on how to get them to show up and work on my FB page.
I actually have 2 YouTube apps added to my FB page: 1 is the YouTube autoshare app that is provided by YouTube when I allowed YouTube to connect to FB when I was on my YouTube channel, the other is a separate YouTube app that I’ve determined is developed by Limobo. While both apps have access to my FB page, neither displays a tab on my FB page where I can display the videos.
Similarly, I allowed Twitter to connect and post to my FB page. The twitter messages post to my wall, which I don’t really want. So, I enabled the Twitter app’s tab (this is the app developed by Twitter) and the tab does show up on my FB page. However, when I select the Twitter tab, no twitter messages ever display there – the page is blank…and the twitter messages continue to show on my wall.
I’v tried adding other apps with no success getting them to show up as working tabs on my page. For example, I added the Klout app to my page. If I go to the Klout app (via the Go To App button on the Klout app’s facebook page), I get a message “Error while loading page from Klout. Empty response received.” I’ve seen this message with other apps I’ve tried to add to my page.
Any insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for your great tutorials.

Here we go, check this picture:
http://www.fansbridge.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/2011-12-07_1126.png
(got it from the tutorial)
Do you see the Tab option? If you want to add the tab to your page click on ” add” if you want to remove it click on ” Remove”.
Hope this can help
let me know if you need any other help.
Yes, I’ve already added the tab to my Facebook page for the Twitter app from Twitter (not the Involver version you’re using). The Twitter tab appears on my page but the problem is that when I select the twitter tab, I’m not seeing any tweet messages being displayed there (see http://twitpic.com/8c06k7), but the twitter messages DO appear on my wall (and I don’t want that) (see http://twitpic.com/8c05wn). Have you had any success using the Twitter tab capability from the official Twitter app?
And for other apps like the YouTube app by Limobo, Klout, etc. I do NOT see an option to add the tab to the page because those apps do not appear in the list under Edit Page->Apps…but these apps DO appear in the apps list displayed when I go to Settings->apps. This is due to the error message about an empty response that I mentioned in my previous post. This doesn’t happen for all apps though as I’ve been able to successfully add the Twitter Tab app by antzmedia, so it may be a problem with these other apps.
Any thoughts or experiences with those specific apps?
Thanks again.

Starting a Youtube channel to market your business, product, service or talent is a great way to build social equity. Once you build an army of subscribers on Youtube, the audience will be attuned to whatever videos you share next and you can use this to your advantage.
