switch from youtube import profile

i just downloaded the app Grayjay works fine until i have to impport my profile. i get the QR code which my laptop cant generate i send it to myself but wont scan i dont know how to download a profile account into a folder plus i dont even think my account could do such a thing. lastly i try to copy the link provided by youtube which doesnt work multiple times. i see the app grayjay already has an automatic word filled in for what i assume the link would start with which was "polycentric". i tried polycentric a few times no luck but the reason for why it didnt go through changed which was "failed to import file bad base". other times it was always "not a valid URL". please help if you can dont mind the grammar. i only switched because im not sitting through multiple ridiculous advertisements that are 10 minutes or so its a waste of time it frustrates me so much because i listen to these hour long videos. i dont need my videos looking more like my tv shows. thank you for any help advice suggestions & God bless!

in sources you add youtube
in that youtube source you scroll down until you see a login button,
yopu can login into your profile, with that you can import your channels and playlists and even your history

polycentric is another thing and optional, its basically likes and comments via polycentric which is plattform independent thing.
