FAQ & Troubleshooting
The panel shows the license/verification screen
Make sure the Awesome YouTube Robot desktop app is running and your license is active. Choose your language and click Verify and continue. If a saved license can't be refreshed, re-enter the key.
Do views come with watch time?
Yes. The View job mode watches for the task's Duration range. Set a realistic range for the video length; identical durations on every view look unnatural. See Views & watch time.
Likes/comments/subscribes aren't working
Those modes need signed-in accounts. Add accounts under Manage cookies & accounts on Step 3, set Account behavior to Random from campaign accounts or Use in listed order, and validate cookies with the checker.
What's the account import format? Does it support 2FA?
Yes. One account per line: email:password, optionally |recoveryEmail and |2FAsecretKey (for example [email protected]:pass|[email protected]|JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP). The 2FA field is the authenticator secret key (not a 6-digit code); AYB generates the codes. Prefix a line with branded: for a branded (multi-channel) account. Full details and cookie-file rules are in Accounts, Cookies & 2FA.
Comments repeat / look spammy
Use a comment list with plenty of varied, on-topic comments and draw from a Random list so each visitor posts something different.
How many concurrent viewers can I run?
It's set by Concurrent threads on the Configurations page and bounded by your hardware. YouTube playback is memory-heavy, and Android emulators are heavier than browser threads, so run fewer of those. See Threads & Capacity.
My viewers aren't unique / the IP isn't changing
Check Step 2: Connection: with Off, all viewers share your real IP. VPN, phone, and broadband give one IP at a time (rotated between sessions); proxies and Dalga IPs give each thread its own IP. Test proxies with Test proxies and consider the ping filter.
Dalga IPs is greyed out
The managed Dalga provider isn't connected for your license yet. Use your own proxies or another IP method until it's available. See Dalga IPs.
Ads interrupt playback
On Step 3: Identity, enable Skip Ads (continue when skippable) or Block Ads (needs a supported browser profile).
How do I keep AYB updated?
Use Check for updates in the sidebar. The app, browser bridge, and AI engine update independently. See Updates.
Where do I get help?
Use Notifications for announcements and the support links on dalga.dev. Video guides are on the DalgaDev YouTube channel.
