Removing automatic posting of public YouTube activity on Twitter and Google+ 1 Recommended Answer 42 Replies 1777 Upvotes
Many years ago, we introduced the option to automatically post your public YouTube activity with your social media followers on both Twitter and Google+. Since then, we’ve found that social sharing works better when the message is more customized and takes advantage of social media features, such as @mentions. Overall, this provides a better experience for both you and your followers vs automatically generated posts.
After January 31st, the ability to automatically post your YouTube Activity on Twitter and Google+ will no longer be available. You can still share videos on social networks directly from YouTube via the Share button. Creators will also see an option to Share on social networks/platforms right after they successfully upload a new video.
Automatic sharing of YouTube activity to Twitter
The options in YouTube Settings > Connected apps > “Share your public activity to Twitter” will be going away. This only affects sharing of public activity going forward, items already shared will remain on Twitter.

Important note: we are not removing the ability to add social media links to your channel banner. You can still add a link to your Twitter profile from your Channel > About tab > Customize channel > Links.
