Quickstart: from channel to live site

Create a yabby account, connect your YouTube channel, and get a live website in a few minutes.

This guide takes you from nothing to a live website built from your YouTube channel.

Sign up

Create your account at yabby.page with email and password, or continue with Google. You can add two-factor authentication later in your account settings.

Find your YouTube channel

Right after sign-up, onboarding asks you to search for your YouTube channel. Type your channel name or handle, pick the right result, and click Set up my website. yabby creates your first website from that channel.

Let your videos import

yabby syncs your videos from YouTube automatically — titles, descriptions, thumbnails, publish dates, view counts, and durations. This runs in the background; you can start customizing right away.

Pick a theme and colors

In the website editor, open Design in the sidebar. Choose one of the nine themes, set a theme color that matches your brand, and upload a logo if you have one.

Preview your site

Click Preview website to see exactly what visitors will get: your homepage with bio and video grid, individual video pages, and playlists.

Publish and share

Set your site's status to published, then share your URL: https://<your-slug>.yabby.page. You can change the slug anytime under Settings → Subdomain, or connect your own domain.

Publishing requires a paid plan

The Free plan lets you build and preview only. To publish your site, upgrade to Pro or higher. See Plans.

From here, your site keeps itself up to date: new videos you upload to YouTube appear on the next sync.
