Importing your data

Bring your YouTube subscriptions into Channel Surfer so the guide is built from channels you actually watch.

The quick version

Channel Surfer builds your guide from your YouTube subscriptions. Because YouTube doesn't hand that list to other sites directly, you grab it yourself with our import tool — it only reads your subscription list and nothing else.

Step by step

1. Open Channel Surfer and start the import from the import screen.
2. Follow the prompt to add the Channel Surfer import tool to your browser.
3. Go to your YouTube subscriptions page while signed in to YouTube.
4. Run the import tool — it collects the channels you're subscribed to.
5. Come back to Channel Surfer and confirm the channels you want in your guide.

Tips

• Make sure you're signed in to the YouTube account whose subscriptions you want.
• If a channel is missing, you can always add it by hand later.
• Re-run the import any time your subscriptions change.
