YouTube

Brightspot's YouTube integration lets you search and import videos from YouTube into federated search, optionally scoped to a single channel.

Configuring the integration

To configure the YouTube integration:

1. From the left navigation, under Admin, click Sites & Settings.
2. From the Integrations tab, expand the YouTube cluster.
3. Expand the YouTube API Client list, and select an API client. If the required API client does not appear, click Create New, and complete the following fields:
   1. (Optional) In the Name field, type a name to identify this API client.
   2. In the API Key field, type the API key from the Google Developer Console for your YouTube Data API project.
   3. (Optional) In the Channel Id field, type a YouTube channel ID to scope search results to that channel. If left blank, search isn't scoped to a single channel.
4. Click Save.

Importing a video

This module doesn't ship a content type for imported videos. Which content type an import converts to depends entirely on what your project has implemented.

To import a video from YouTube:

1. In the header, click the search field to open the search panel.

2. Under Global Filters, from the content-type filter, select YouTube Video.

   note

   The external type Video (YouTube) is not the same asset as YouTube Video. If YouTube Video is not available as a content type filter, the integration is not configured. See Configuring the integration.

3. Perform an integrated search. For details, see Performing integrated searches in Brightspot.

4. Click the video you want to import.

5. Click Import.

6. Complete your site's workflow and publish the asset.
