Most powerful ways to connect Microsoft Power BI and YouTube

YouTube + Google Sheets + Microsoft Power BI: When a new video is uploaded to YouTube, its information (title, views, likes, etc.) is added to a Google Sheet. This Google Sheet data source is then used to automatically update a Power BI dashboard for performance tracking.

Microsoft Power BI + YouTube + Slack: Power BI monitors YouTube channel statistics. When video views for a specific video (obtained via YouTube's Get Video Info) reach a threshold defined in Power BI, a message is sent to a designated Slack channel notifying the marketing team.
