Configuring Your Vidrunner Settings

Use Vidrunner Settings to personalize your account, manage channel details, and set defaults that make video optimization faster.

Written by Caitlin Ward

Overview

We highly recommend your settings before getting started.

If you use product links, payout and Amazon tag information can affect how your links are created and tracked.


When to Use Settings

Visit Settings when you want to:

  • Update your profile information

  • Add or review payout information

  • Manage your connected YouTube channel

  • Set a default Amazon tag

  • Customize default timestamp details


Profile Information

Profile information is optional, but it can help keep your account organized.

Update this information if you work with a team or need support to identify your account quickly.


Payout Information

Payout information is highly recommended if you use product links.

This helps ensure Vidrunner has the information needed to ensure you get paid for Amazon products that pay higher commissions through Lasso's Brand Deals.

You can update this after your earn, but you'll get payouts faster if it's updated first.

You can learn more about Brand Deals here and how Payouts work here.


Settings

Settings help you apply account defaults.

Connected YouTube Channel

Your connected channel tells Vidrunner which YouTube channel to scan, import, and optimize.

In Settings, review your connected channel to make sure Vidrunner is linked to the correct YouTube account.

This is important if:

  • You manage multiple YouTube channels

  • You recently changed YouTube accounts

  • You are not seeing the expected videos

  • You want to scan or optimize a different channel

If the wrong channel is connected, update or reconnect the correct one before scanning or optimizing videos.

Default Amazon Tag

If you use Amazon product links, set your default Amazon tag in Settings.

A default Amazon tag helps Vidrunner apply the correct tracking information when product links are generated.

Use this setting to:

  • Save time when generating product links

  • Reduce manual editing

  • Keep product links consistent

  • Help ensure links use the correct affiliate tracking tag

You can also set the tracking ID at the video level, but we recommend setting a default just in case you forget.

Default Timestamp Details

Default timestamp settings help Vidrunner format timestamp suggestions in a way that matches your channel style.

This determines how detailed the timestamps are and how many chapters it identifies.
