YouTube

Photographs are curated and everyone knows it, which is why a walkthrough video converts differently: it shows the awkward staircase and the actual size of the second bedroom, and a guest who books after watching one is a guest who will not be disappointed.

Video also does work after booking. A short clip showing how the boiler works or where the bins go answers a question that would otherwise arrive as a message at an inconvenient hour.

Connecting YouTube lets that library be managed alongside everything else — what exists, how it performs, and what is worth making next based on what people actually watch.

The analytics are the underused half. Watch-time data shows where people stop, which for a property tour usually reveals the exact point where the property stops matching what the listing implied.

Once YouTube is connected, ProhostAI works with your videos, channel and analytics in plain language.

Read

YouTube connects through Google OAuth against your channel.

1. Open ProhostAI and go to Settings → Connections.
2. Search for YouTube and select Connect.
3. Sign in to YouTube and approve the permissions.
4. Ask how your videos performed to confirm it works.

• Watch-time drop-off is the most useful signal — it usually marks where the property stops matching the listing.
• Short how-to videos reduce guest messages measurably; a clip about the boiler prevents the same question repeatedly.
• Access follows the connected Google account’s channel permissions.
• Revoking ProhostAI in your Google account settings ends access immediately.
