YouTube: Link Accounts and Enable Postback Captions

Once you link your accounts, 3Play Media will be able to pull a feed of all public content from your YouTube channel.
You will then be able to upload your YouTube content for captioning and transcription directly from within the 3Play app.

By following the steps below the captions automatically postback to the associated videos on your YouTube channel when the files are completed by default. This feature can be disabled after initial setup.
