Account & platform guide
How to manage your TrendyTube account settings
Your Settings page is the control center for your profile, sign-in security, devices, connected YouTube channels, subscription information, usage limits and account deletion. Learn what each section changes—and what it does not.
Before you begin
Open Settings in your TrendyTube account.
Sign in, open Settings, and select the section you need. On smaller screens, use the navigation toggle to switch tabs. Changes to passwords, external connections, subscriptions and account deletion should be reviewed before confirming.
Part 01 · Put it to work
Seven settings sections, seven different responsibilities
Settings organizes personal information and account controls separately from your creator projects. A change made here does not necessarily change a Research Hub schedule, regenerate an existing script or publish anything to YouTube.
Use Profile for username, birthday, photo and appearance; Security for passwords; Sessions for signed-in devices; Connected Accounts for YouTube authorization; Billing for your subscription; Usage for credits and plan limits; and Danger Zone to schedule or cancel removal of the TrendyTube account.
Each tab can be opened directly from the Settings navigation. For example, you can return to Settings → Usage to check the credits available before starting a new tool request.
Choose the right tab
Profile and Security
Edit your identity and sign-in credentials without altering generated projects.
Sessions and Connected Accounts
Review access to TrendyTube and the YouTube channels authorized through Google; these are different kinds of connections.
Billing and Usage
Review subscription actions, credit balances and separate plan limits.
Danger Zone
Request account deletion or cancel a pending deletion before it becomes permanent.
Part 02 · Follow the steps
Manage each part of your account
Find the Settings section for your goal
From your signed-in TrendyTube account, open Settings. On desktop, use the settings menu; on smaller screens, open the navigation toggle. Choose Profile, Security, Sessions, Connected Accounts, Billing, Usage or Danger Zone.
Why the sections are separate: Updating your account details does not change research field preferences, keyword-tracking frequency or existing generated files. Those workflow-specific settings stay in their own tool workspaces. Return to the relevant section to verify the effect of an account-wide change.
Update your profile and picture
Select Profile. Edit your Username, optionally update your Birthday, or choose a new Profile photo. Review your choices, then select Save profile. TrendyTube accepts JPG, JPEG, PNG or WebP profile images up to 5 MB. Your username must be available and unique; the form shows an error if another account already uses it.
What does not change here? The Email field displays your account's sign-in address but is read-only in the current Settings interface. Changing your username or photo changes the profile information shown in your account; it does not change the owner, title or URL of an actual YouTube channel.
Choose the appearance on this device
Within Profile, look for Appearance and use the theme toggle. The interface describes this setting as a preference for this device.
Choose the appearance you prefer on this device. If another device looks different, check its appearance setting too.
Change or set your account password
Open Security. If you use email-and-password sign-in, enter the Current password, New password and Confirm password, then select Change password. The form checks matching confirmation and password requirements, including length and character types.
If you registered through Google and the screen offers Set password, you can establish a separate TrendyTube email-and-password sign-in without changing your Google password. Only use the action shown for your account. After a normal password change, TrendyTube signs out existing sessions and requires signing in again; that protects the account if a previous password was compromised.
Review and revoke signed-in sessions
Open Sessions to review the active sessions recorded for your account. The list can show the browser, device, platform, location or IP information when available, along with when the session was created. The session you are using is identified as Current.
If you recognize another device but no longer want it signed in, select its Sign out action and confirm. TrendyTube revokes that specific session, and the device needs to sign in again. For your current session, the interface offers the usual Log out action. This is a useful response when you've lost access to an old device or notice a session you don't recognize. Revoking a TrendyTube session is not the same as disconnecting a YouTube channel.
Connect or disconnect your YouTube account
Under Connected Accounts, select Connect channel to begin Google's YouTube authorization flow. After you approve the requested access, TrendyTube retrieves the YouTube channels available to that signed-in Google account and shows them in your connected list. The current authorization requests read-only YouTube access; connecting here does not give this Settings screen an automatic video-publishing action.
To disconnect, use Disconnect on the intended channel and confirm. This removes the channel from TrendyTube's connected-account list; it does not delete the real YouTube channel. If you need access again, you can reconnect through the authorization flow.
Important distinction: Adding a reference channel URL to Research Hub does not require proving that you own the channel or connecting it to your Google account. Research Hub channel verification checks the URL and channel details; Connected Accounts is a separate Google-authorized connection.
Review your subscription without confusing it with account deletion
Open Billing to see your current plan, subscription status and the displayed Renewal / access date. If the subscription is eligible, you may see Update payment method, Cancel at period end or Reactivate subscription, plus Open provider settings when available. Open pricing takes you to plan options.
Why check the current status first? Actions depend on whether your subscription is active, trialing, past due, already scheduled for cancellation or otherwise ineligible. Scheduling cancellation at period end keeps access active until that period ends; it is not the same as deleting your TrendyTube account. Review payment alerts, any pending subscription change and the access date shown before confirming an action.
Read Usage as a combination of credits and other limits
Open Usage to see your Credits balance alongside limits for areas such as Video Keywords, Research Hub, Scripts and Shorts. The values show remaining allowances and maximums; some usage quotas show a reset date, while some capabilities represent a current allocation rather than something that renews daily.
Why look beyond Available credits? A request can have enough credits but still be blocked by a separate limit, such as maximum channels, tracked keywords, scripts, generated Shorts, exports or input length. Available, Used and Reserved explain the global credit budget, while the other cards explain what your current plan permits. For details about reserved credits, failed-task refunds and reset dates, follow the dedicated Credits guide.
Understand the Danger Zone before requesting account deletion
The Danger Zone is for removing your TrendyTube account, not just signing out, disconnecting YouTube or deleting an individual project. Choose Schedule account deletion only after considering the account data and projects you may still need. TrendyTube schedules permanent removal after a seven-day grace period. The page displays the specific scheduled removal date for your account.
What happens during the grace period? The account is marked for deletion, and the interface offers Cancel deletion request to reverse the pending request before the deadline. Once permanent deletion is performed, you can no longer undo it through this control. Do not assume this process is interchangeable with canceling a paid subscription; review your Billing status separately first, and save any important outputs before requesting removal.
Help · Common questions
Common account settings questions
Can I change my TrendyTube sign-in email in Profile?
Not through the current Profile tab. It displays the account email as read-only, while username, birthday and profile picture can be edited.
Does changing my TrendyTube password sign me out on other devices?
Yes. TrendyTube signs out existing sessions after a normal password change, so you should expect to sign in again. If you signed up through Google and Security offers Set password, that action creates a local TrendyTube password; it does not change your Google account's password.
What is the difference between Sessions and Connected Accounts?
Sessions shows devices and browsers signed into your TrendyTube account; you can revoke an old session. Connected Accounts lists YouTube channels authorized through Google; disconnecting a channel removes its saved TrendyTube connection, not your TrendyTube login or the actual YouTube channel.
Do I need to connect my own YouTube account to use Research Hub?
No. Research Hub's channel Verify action checks a public channel URL and details, not ownership. Connected Accounts is a separate Google-authorized YouTube connection.
Can I manage billing directly from Settings?
Yes, when a supported action is available for your subscription. Billing displays plan and access information and may allow updating the payment method, scheduling cancellation at period end, reactivation or visiting provider settings. Full plan-change choices live on Pricing.
Why do I still have credits but cannot start a feature?
Usage shows separate plan quotas and capabilities in addition to credits. You may be at a channel, keyword, script, Shorts or other feature limit even though some global credits remain Available.
Can I undo a request to delete my TrendyTube account?
During the pending deletion window, use Danger Zone → Cancel deletion request before the scheduled removal date. You have a seven-day grace period. After permanent account removal, that self-service cancellation window is over. Subscription cancellation is a separate action.
