Start with the shortest path to signal
NextVid is most useful when your first session ends with a decision, not a dashboard tour. Start by connecting one channel, importing recent videos, and checking which formats already outperform your average.
What you should do first
- Connect the YouTube channel you actually publish on.
- Import a recent window of videos so performance patterns have enough context.
- Review format-level winners before you review single-video outliers.
Where to go next
- Read What is NextVid if you want the product model first.
- Follow Setup if you want the fastest implementation path.
- Use Connect YouTube if channel permissions are the main blocker.
