Trouble uploading videos from Google Drive to YouTube using Zapier

I created my first ZAP on a free trial. Both steps passed the test and it says the Zap was successfully run.

 

I have it set to upload a video to youtube after it  is uploaded to my google drive. Despite it being turned on the video has not been uploaded.

 

I see I can get better help if I upgrade my package but please forgive me for speaking out of line but I find it odd to pay for something that hasn’t worked thus far.

 

Answers, assistance anyone

Hi ​@Denarii 

Help links for using YouTube in Zaps: https://zapier.com/apps/youtube/integrations#help

My Zap does not show real data when I test the Upload Video action.

When you test the YouTube action "Upload Video", the step will not upload the video.
It will return default data so that you can continue setting up the Zap without affecting your channel.

 

For us to have more info, post these screenshots:

  • how your Zap steps are outlined and configured in EDIT mode with the field mappings visible
