Linking your Battle.net and YouTube accounts together is crucial if you want to earn special drops from Blizzard titles like Overwatch, Overwatch 2, and World of Warcraft. Here’s exactly how to do so.

How to Link Your Battle.net Account to YouTube

Like Twitch, linking your YouTube account to Battle.net is very simple and only requires a few clicks. Follow the steps below to learn how to connect them:

  1. Sign into YouTube and then click on your account photo to bring up the menu. Head into “Settings.”
  2. Here, you’ll see a list of options in a toolbar on the left. Click on “Connected apps” to get to the Account Sharing page (or go here for your convenience).
  3. Click on “Connect” > “Connect” > “Continue” next to the Battle.net option and sign in with your Battle.net credentials (a separate window will open).
  4. Once they’re linked, you’ll get a pop-up confirming the connection. You’ll also receive a confirmation email.

And that’s it! The next time Blizzard hosts an event where you can earn drops, like the Overwatch 2 PvP beta key event on May 5 – May 8, all you need to do is watch.
