 This mode is ideal for one-time uploads or when integrating the software into an existing automation pipeline. Videos are uploaded directly to YouTube without being stored in the CMS, allowing the application to operate as a lightweight, standalone uploader while retaining all of its powerful bulk upload capabilities.

 '''Solution 1''':

+Files cannot be accessed with the current user permissions. Elevate your user privileges on your local computer. A good test would be to run the software as an Administrative User and retry.

-'''Solution 4''':
+== I can't drag and drop videos into the application ==
-'''Symptom''': Cannot drag and drop videos onto the application window. Mouse icon changes to a 'no access' symbol.
+'''Solution''': This is typically caused by Windows security settings, specifically **User Interface Privilege Isolation (UIPI)**.
-'''Solution''':
+Windows prevents applications running with different privilege levels from exchanging drag-and-drop messages. For example, if Windows Explorer is running with standard user privileges but the application is running as an Administrator, drag and drop will be blocked as a security measure.
-The source and target processes need to have compatible security levels/privileges. For example, if your source is Explorer and it is running with user level privileges, but your target application is running with administrator (elevated) level permission, you will not be able to drag & drop as this is seen as a security issue as the target is running with a higher level of privileges.
+This behaviour is built into Windows to help prevent malicious applications from injecting input into higher-privileged processes.
-Designed to prevent input injection exploits from programs that run with restricted privileges.
+You can usually resolve the issue by trying one of the following:
-You can try the following:
+* Install the application into a folder such as **C:\Program Files** or **C:\Windows**.
-- Store this software in a subdirectory of c:\windows or c:\program files
+* Run the application as a standard user instead of as an Administrator.
-or
+* Ensure both Windows Explorer and the application are running with the same privilege level.
-- Running the program as a non-administrative user
+* As a last resort, disable User Interface Privilege Isolation (UIPI). For more information, see the Microsoft documentation:

 This page covers some common scenarios you may face when using the software. If you have stumbled across an error and need help, then refer to our [[YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy Troubleshooting Guide]] instead.
-== Adding multiple Channels for the same YouTube Account ==
+== Does the software support multiple YouTube channels? ==
-'''Scenario''': My account has multiple channels associated with it. How can I manage videos for multiple channels?
+'''Solution''': Yes. YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy supports hundreds of YouTube channels, even across multiple Google accounts. You can easily switch between channels and organise your videos without constantly signing in and out.
-'''Solution''': Very easy! When adding a new channel into the software, simply give the channel a unique name and add the channel into the software. When the web browser windows opened to verify the YouTube account, select the channel you want to assign. Repeat this step for the other channels you wish to add, give each one a unique name within the software.
+The software uses Google's official OAuth authentication system, so your Google password is never entered into or stored by the application. Instead, you securely authorise access directly through Google.
-== How can I just upload videos without the database? ==
+Brand Accounts are fully supported, as are channels where you've been granted a '''Manager''' role. This makes the software ideal for businesses, agencies and creators who manage multiple YouTube channels from a single application.
-'''Solution''': In Admin > General, there is an option to Content Manage Videos. When you uncheck this option, the entire Video Database video management features of the software is ignored. Every video added into the software will be uploaded to the YouTube account only. It's very useful for users to wish to just upload many videos on a one-time basis.

 '''Solution''': The CSV format is as follows: '''Channel Name, Video Title, Video Description, Video Tags (Comma Separated), YouTubeCategoryID, Video Privacy (Public|Unlisted|Private), Video YouTubeID, Video Filename (Full file path), Publish Date'''. A good way to take a closer took at the formatting is to add a few videos into the software and add them to the upload queue. The videos will now be in the database and you can use the Export to CSV feature to carefully analyze the data format.
