In this video we're going to demonstrate how to enable the YouTube integration. 

This video assumes you have enabled the YouTube integration feature via “Add Features” on the Settings tab of your CaptionSync account, and you’ve received an email saying that the feature is enabled. Note that if you can't see YouTube in the “Feature to Add” drop-down menu, then it's already enabled. 

Once your CaptionSync account is enabled for the YouTube integration, open the “Settings” tab, and then the “YouTube Settings” page. Now click the “Associate a new YouTube user” link. On the “CaptionPush to YouTube” page click Accept (you will be prompted to log in if you're not already logged into Google). You'll then see your user listed on the “YouTube Settings” page. You can add as many YouTube users as you need.

Now you can use our List of URLs feature to submit your YouTube links. For more details about our List of URLs feature, please see our tutorial. 

Once the download of the media file is complete, the “Tried” field will show "Y". If the video was determined to be yours, you'll see the “YouTube Video: Will push results back” message when you mouse over the URL, and an SRT caption file will be pushed back to the appropriate YouTube account. More details about your request are available on the Submission Details page.

If the video wasn't deemed to belong to any of the users listed, there will be no additional message when you mouse over the URL besides “YouTube Video”, and captions won't be pushed back automatically. In this case, please take a look at our article on how to caption someone else’s YouTube video. 

Once captions are delivered into the YouTube account, they will be displayed when you play the video, showing the language selected when you made the submission, and the “AST CaptionSync Captions” identifier.

If you have any questions feel free to contact us, and as usual check out our CaptionSync Support Center under the Help link in your account, as it has answers to many of the most common questions.
