  • What it does

    YouTube lets profiles add YouTube videos to their profile. The videos stay on YouTube and play from there, with their title and image shown on your site.

    ACP > Modules > Profiles > YouTube

  • Setting it up

    YouTube needs an API key, so the site can read video details:

    1. In the Google Cloud Console, create a project.
    2. Enable the YouTube Data API v3 for it, and create an API key.
    3. Enter it as the YouTube v3 API Key in Global Config.

    Then check Allowed on Profile in Quota Config for the quotas that may add videos.

  • Adding one

    On their profile's YouTube section, members click + and enter the YouTube ID or URL. Pasting the video's address is enough.

    With Show YouTube Search, members can also search YouTube from the create form. With Allow Channel Sync, members enter their YouTube Channel or Username in their Profile Settings. New videos on that channel are then added to their profile during the daily maintenance.
