The 3 steps — read these first
1
Sign in, then pick the CHANNEL itself when Google asks.
Owner or manager both work. After you sign in, Google shows your personal account and the channels you manage — choose the channel (its name and logo), not your personal account. Don't worry about picking wrong — the confirmation screen will ask which channel you meant and verify it by name.
2
Google will warn: “Google hasn’t verified this app.” That’s expected.
Darkmatter is invite-only, not an app-store product — Google labels every private tool this way. Click Advanced, then Go to connect.darkdigital.com.
3
On the permissions screen, check every box, then Continue.
Hit Select all if offered. All four permissions are read-only — the analysis needs each of them.
