A private, single-user publishing tool used by independent artist Steve Waddington to prepare, upload and manage videos on his own YouTube channel. It is not offered to the public and has no public sign-in.
What the tool does
The uploader turns completed local video, artwork and approved metadata into consistent YouTube catalogue entries. It can:
- upload video files to Steve Waddington Music;
- set titles, descriptions, tags, category, audience and visibility;
- apply recording dates and custom thumbnails;
- add videos to the appropriate album and genre playlists; and
- read back YouTube's processing and publication status so the operator can verify the result.
The tool does not provide analytics, audience profiling, advertising, comment automation or access for other creators.
User control
Only Steve Waddington, or an operator expressly acting for him, can use the tool. Before any upload, the tool identifies the destination channel and displays the proposed title, description, visibility and other settings. Upload commands are dry-run by default and require a separate execution instruction. The operator retains final control over every upload and visibility change.
Privacy and terms
The tool uses YouTube API Services and Google OAuth 2.0. Read the dedicated privacy notice and terms of use. Use of YouTube is also governed by the YouTube Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy.
