Media: YouTube upload

The demonstration site is up and running at: http://media-youtube-upload.com. Register an account or login with Facebook and try out the Media: YouTube upload widget.

The Media: YouTube upload module extends the file field with a widget that can upload videos directly to a preconfigured YouTube account. Aside from the field, it is also possible to make use of a page, block or media widget for uploading your videos. The biggest advantage of using this module is that the video file never hits your server and saves a lot of bandwidth, while still maintaining control over your videos through a YouTube file in your Drupal installation.

Each widget can be configured to have default and/or user defined values for the following fields:

• Title (textfield: max 100 chars)
• Description (textarea: max 5000 chars)
• Privacy (select: Private, Public, Unlisted)
• Category (select: Values imported from YouTube)
• Tags (taxonomy: vocabulary auto created, interchangeable)
• Thumb (image: thumbnail automatically created)

These values are saved onto a “youtube” file. Editing this file will automatically push your changes onto YouTube.

Dependencies

• Media (>=7.x-2.x)
• Media: YouTube
• Libraries
