YouTube API: "no linked youtube account" with a YouTube Business Account -


i've got client business. using google apps business (the paid version), , have created google apps email account. using email account, logged youtube , went create channel. because business, created business youtube channel associated business google+ page.
have vendor using youtube api upload videos them. when vendor tries use api, error "no linked youtube account". we're thinking because google+ business page, page not associated single google account, rather multiple google accounts can set "managers" of page.

when tried create "personal" youtube channel/google+ page associated email address, tried put company name in first name / last name , rejected because says it's company name , not real person's name. asks gender , birthdate, , of things associated person , not business.

my questions is.... there way around issue? can use youtube api upload google+ business page , youtube business channel?

thanks, justin
