Starting today, players can link up their YouTube and Epic accounts and watch premiered content to claim awards. There are multiple opportunities to win prizes by taking part and spectating both the Jam Hollywood and the Fortnite World Cup broadcasts.

To do this, sign in to YouTube on your desktop browser, navigate to Accounts and select Settings. Now, under the Connected accounts section, choose your Epic account. Click Connect and sign in.

To make sure everything is in working order, load up Fortnite and check your inventory.
