How to auto post YouTube videos AND YouTube live streams to Discord. (Using Zapier)

I let my old website expire and thus all the images that would be in this article are gone. I'll try and get new images uploaded ASAP. Sorry for the inconvience. UPDATE! This not only works for video uploads, but it also works for LIVE streams!

All right, this guide will go through all the steps to auto post your YouTube videos AND live streams to a channel on your Discord server!

• Step 1) Create a free account with Zapier.
  (Easy enough!)




• Step 2) Click the big orange "MAKE A ZAP!" button at the top of the dashboard.

• Step 9) Once it completes, click "Continue".




• Step 10) When you get to this step, you'll notice Discord is not an action app, this is fine because Discord has provided integration with WebHooks!

• Step 16) Now we get to the complicated part. Paste your Discord webhook URL in the URL section. Select the JSON as the payload type, and the Data should be filled out as shown.
  The data tags will auto-complete, so just select the options in the drop down.
