Getting Started

By the end of this guide, you can prepare your YTScope account, add your first channel, and understand what to expect while its data is being prepared.

Get Started and Login links on the YTScope home page — YTScope home page — use Get Started for a new account or Login for an existing account.

Before you begin

Have access to the email address you will use.
Find the name, @handle, or YouTube URL of a channel you want to track.
Decide whether the channel belongs to you or another creator. This choice affects personalized comparisons on the Dashboard.
Check your current plan, usage, and feature access on the Subscription and Settings pages. This guide does not hard-code changing prices or limits.

Select Get Started in the upper-right corner of the home page.

YTScope registration form — Registration form — complete the requested information and follow the validation messages below each field.

Complete the visible fields

Follow the rules shown for the name, email, and password fields. If a password confirmation field is present, make sure the two passwords match. Complete any required security check before submitting the form.

Submit the registration

Select Register. If a field is invalid, correct the message shown on the page and try again. If Continue with Google is available, you can use it instead of the email form.

Note

Registration fields and sign-in options may change. The labels and validation messages visible on the current screen take precedence.

Verify your email address

If you registered with email, open the verification link sent to your inbox. After verification, you can return to the login page.

State	What to do
The message did not arrive	Check spam and junk folders, then use the resend option shown on the page.
The link is invalid or expired	Request a new verification message from the login screen.
You used the wrong email	Return to registration or contact support.
You continued with Google	The app may take you directly to the next step; follow the on-screen instructions.

Warning

Never share a verification link or password. YTScope support will not ask for your password.

Log in

Open Login from the home page.
Enter your email and password, or select the social sign-in method used during registration.
Select Login.

If you do not remember your password, use Forgot Password to request a reset message. If you see an unverified-email warning, complete email verification first.

First run: add a channel

YTScope guides a new account through adding its first channel. Button names may vary by screen, but the flow requires three decisions:

1. Continue from the welcome screen

Read the orientation message and select Get Started.

2. Find the channel and identify whether it is yours

Search by channel name, @handle, or YouTube channel URL. Confirm the correct result using its avatar, name, and handle.

Onboarding choice	When to use it	Result
This is my own channel checked	The channel belongs to you	The Dashboard and comparisons use it as your reference channel.
This is my own channel not checked	You are tracking another creator	The channel is added among other tracked channels. Confirm its role on My Channels after onboarding.

Tip

Do not check This is my own channel for another creator. Manage Competitor and Watchlist roles from My Channels after onboarding.

3. Review your selection

Confirm the channel name and ownership marker on the summary screen. Select Start Analyzing to open the Dashboard. If initial data is not ready, cards may show a data-preparation state.

Practice with Coğrafyanın Kodları

Verified July 17, 2026. This exercise teaches channel identity and role selection without relying on changing values.

Search for Coğrafyanın Kodları.
Compare the channel name and @handle with its YouTube page.
Because the channel does not belong to you, leave This is my own channel unchecked.
If it is already tracked, open the existing record instead of adding a duplicate.
When the Dashboard opens, find and select Coğrafyanın Kodları in the channel selector, then confirm its intended role on My Channels.

Loading, empty, error, and locked states

State	Meaning and next step
Search is loading	Results are being prepared; wait instead of repeatedly submitting the same search.
No result	Try the `@handle` or full channel URL instead of the channel name.
Channel already added	Use the existing channel card; do not create a second record.
Channel limit warning	Check current usage on Subscription or Settings.
Data is being prepared	The channel was added, but analysis cards are not ready; return and refresh later.
Feature is locked	Read the locked card for the current access requirement.
General error	Check your connection and retry; if it continues, contact support with the visible error message.

Troubleshooting and limits

If you added the wrong channel, open its menu on My Channels and review the role-change or removal explanation.
If the Dashboard is empty, confirm the selected channel and check whether its data is still being prepared.
If your session repeatedly closes, review browser settings that block required cookies and log in again.
For plan or usage questions, trust the Subscription page in your account rather than an older screenshot in this guide.
