Vidrunner: Guide to Getting Started

Welcome to Vidrunner, a way to create automatic tags, timestamps, and products links for your YouTube videos! 🎉

Written by Caitlin Ward

Vidrunner is brought to you by Lasso. It introduces YouTube functionality for timestamps, tags, and product links.

Our goal is to make your life much easier when it comes to managing affiliate YouTube content.


Getting Started

Head here to begin:
​https://app.vidrunner.com/dashboard

You can log in using your existing Lasso account, or create a new account for free.


What You Can Do

1. Generate tags, timestamps, and product links for a video

Paste any YouTube video URL into the dashboard.

From there, you can:

  • Generate tags to improve discoverability

  • Create timestamps to increase watch time and engagement

  • Add product links to monetize your content

Once generated:

  • Copy and paste directly into your YouTube description or YouTube Studio

  • Nothing is auto-published; you’re always in control

Not quite right?

  • Regenerate as many times as needed

  • Still off? Email [email protected] and we’ll improve it


2. Scan your entire YouTube channel

Want to check everything at once?

You can scan your full channel to:

  • Import all your videos

  • Identify missing or weak tags and timestamps

  • Detect broken or out-of-stock product links

We’ll immediately start analyzing your content and surfacing opportunities.


Managing & Optimizing Your Videos

Once your videos are imported, you can view them here:
​https://app.vidrunner.com/videos

Click into any video to open its detail page (example format):
​https://app.vidrunner.com/video/video/zKA0ISoFdcM

From there, you can:

  • Generate new tags, timestamps, or product links

  • Review your Video Optimization Score

  • See exactly what needs improvement

  • Apply suggested fixes and copy updates into YouTube

Think of this as your control center for improving performance across your entire channel.


Video Optimization Score

If you’ve already generated content for a video, you’ll see a Video Optimization Score at the bottom of the page.

This score helps you:

  • Quickly understand what’s working

  • Spot gaps in your video setup

  • Take action with one-click recommendations
