Add YouTube Channel

Step 3 - Confirm the account is connected

Once you've added your channel, you will see it listed in your YouTube connections.

Step 4 - Add Media

A new YouTube content folder is created in your Library where you can manually import content as usual. 

YouTube manual import

Note that Sync and Import Settings are greyed out. This is because YouTube channels need to be verified first. In this case, you need to contact the Searchie support team for assistance on this. If your channel remains unverified, only the files present at the time of adding the channel to Searchie will be imported. 

No Import and Sync

Once your channel is verified, you have the option to auto-process the folder to skip having to manually import future recordings. This will create a copy of this file in your Searchie account and also generate the transcription. New recordings will automatically be added to this Folder.

If you have a lot of content in your YouTube account, you can also process all your content in your YouTube Folder in one go using the "Import All" function.
