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. 

• Please note that 3Play Media cannot access videos that have been set to private. 
• You must ensure that videos on YouTube have a language associated prior to initiating auto-order with 3Play. Videos with no language associated may not be recognized by our auto-ordering automation.

By following the steps below,  captions will 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.

 

Best Practices Tip
Before linking a 3Play Media account to a YouTube channel,  it is best practice to first sign out of all Google and YouTube pages. 

 

Step 1 - Navigate to Linked Accounts

After logging in to 3Play Media, click Linked Accounts located at the top of the page.

 

Step 2- Click "Link a new Account"

 

Step 3- Select YouTube

Click the YouTube icon from the list of video platforms and lecture capture systems.
Once YouTube is selected you will be redirected to a Google sign-in page.

 

Step 4- Sign into Google

Enter the email address and password associated with your YouTube account.

PLEASE NOTE: If you were already signed into Google or YouTube, the channels associated with your credentials will display automatically. 

 

Step 5- Select a YouTube channel

After signing into Google, the YouTube channels associated with your credentials are displayed.
Select the channel you want to link to your 3Play Media account.

 

 

Step 6- Click Allow

Click Allow to enable the link between your 3Play Media account and your YouTube channel. 

After clicking Allow you will be redirected back to 3Play Media account to this integration's settings page. A message will display indicating that You have successfully linked your YouTube account! 

 

Step 7- Enable Postback Captions

On the integration settings page, set Postback Captions? to On to have the captions automatically associated with the YouTube videos upon completion of the transcription process. 

• If you intend to link multiple YouTube channels to your 3Play Media account, you may want to nickname the integration to easily identify this integration from other integrations.

Click Update once you have completed this process. 

Note: By enabling auto-upload, 3Play Media will automatically pull in recent public or unlisted videos uploaded to your youtube account for processing. By default, our systems will only look 1 week into the past. To change this, you can modify the "Auto Upload Start Date" to an earlier date to capture viedos that are older than 1`week. For example, if you have 100 videos from last year you would like captions for, then you could set this field to the day before your earliest video was uploaded to YouTube and the next time our automated process runs it will pick up all 100 of these videos and generate orders for each of them.
