How do I link my YouTube account and AdSense account?

Google's intructions are incorrect

From Google's own instructions:

From the AdSense Setup tab, choose video units as the product and click the Visit AdSense Video units button.

What "AdSense Setup tab"? I don't have one.

In your AdSense account, the AdSense Setup tab is right next to Reports.

Sorry, that was a copy-and-paste mistake. What I meant to say was, there is no video units product. I don't see anything about video units anywhere.

I have:

and...

* We do not currently offer AdSense for Mobile Content in Sweden.

There is no disclaimer about Video units.

Sounds like you'll need to email adsense-support@google.com and ask them.

Hi all,

Video Units are currently available only to publishers in certain countries who have English-language websites.

If you do not see the Video Units option in your account, it is because we do not offer Video Units in your location as yet.

Thanks, AdSenseAdvisor, but shouldn't it be based on the site's language, rather than where I live? I'm an American with English sites, but live in Sweden, for example; why should my residence have anything to do with it?

It should not have anything to do with it, but Google does not like to handle things by hand, they like to let software handle stuff. That is the way Google does stuff. Software is even more stupid than people, and people can be pretty stupid.

Hi mike73,

Thanks for your feedback. I understand that it can be disappointing that this feature is only available to publishers in certain locations. We do hope to extend the availability of this feature, and appreciate your patience in the meantime.
