#### How to Set Up YouTube Uploads

#### **1. Add YouTube Managers**

<details>

<summary>YouTube Managers</summary>

Project participants who have been granted permission to manage the linked YouTube channel.

**Responsibilities**:

* Receive notifications when meeting recordings are uploaded.
* Monitor the upload process and perform any necessary content management on YouTube.

</details>

* In the **YouTube Managers** field, search for project participants by name or email.
* Click on the desired user to add them as a manager.
* Managers will be notified about uploads and can manage the linked channel.
* To remove a manager, click the **X** icon next to their name.

#### **2. Link a YouTube Channel**

* This field will be auto-populated with the synced Youtube channel.

#### **3. Select a Date Format**

Choose how you want the date to appear in video titles:

* `DD/MM/YYYY`
* `MM/DD/YYYY`
* `YYYY/MM/DD`

#### **4. Choose a Category**

* From the **Category** dropdown, select the appropriate video classification (e.g., *Science & Technology*, *Education*).
* This improves discoverability on YouTube.

#### **5. Set the Primary Language**

* Select the main spoken language during the meeting from the **Language** dropdown (e.g., English, Spanish).
* YouTube uses this for captions and metadata tagging.

***

#### 6. Finalizing the Configuration

* Click **Sync with YouTube** to apply your settings and to select the YouTube account to sync.

You will be asked to sign into your Google account using the Google Login Flow and to accept the LFX Brand Account Manager and Meeting Uploader permissions. In most cases, you will want to sign into your Google account **which has Owner permissions on a project's YouTube Brand Account**. Otherwise, if you select an email that is not a YouTube Brand Account Owner, you will be syncing to that email's **personal YouTube account**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note: Recordings shorter than 5 minutes (typically under 10MB) will be discarded to avoid uploading empty meetings. Upload to YouTube typically begins about 30 minutes after the meeting ends, following processing time by Zoom and PCC. A notification email will be sent to the Youtube Manager approximately one hour after the meeting concludes.
{% endhint %}
