YouTube
Requirements: any plan
To enable the YouTube connector, navigate to the Connectors page, available from the drop-down menu at the top-right of your screen. Then navigate to the YouTube connector page.
You can now connect your YouTube account to your CaptionHub account:
Once the integration is enabled
- From ‘New Project from’ on your Dashboard in CaptionHub, select YouTube
- All your YouTube media will be displayed; choose a video file in order to import it into CaptionHub
- Once it’s in CaptionHub, you’ll be able to caption and subtitle your video normally
- Once you’ve captioned and subtitled your video, navigate to the Publish tab in order to send the finalised timed text back to YouTube
The YouTube connector is different compared to our other connectors, in that YouTube do not allow us to import your original media.
This means that we can’t offer transcription or rendering, and we’re unable to offer a frame accurate preview. If you’d like to transcribe or render, then we’d recommend that you import from YouTube as described above, and then use a “Replace project video” command to manually upload the original video to CaptionHub. That’ll ensure you have full functionality inside of CaptionHub, and the links to your YouTube video will be maintained.
Changing the YouTube connector
A team can only be connected to one YouTube account/ channel at a time. It is possible to change the connection to another YouTube account/ channel if required.
It is worth noting that you will only be able to publish captions to a project if the connection matches the YouTube account where that video resides. If you import a project from one account and change the YouTube connection you won’t be able to publish those captions.
To change the connector:
- In the CaptionHub YouTube connector pane - click Deactivate
- Log out of your current YouTube account.
- On the connectors YouTube pane click Connect YouTube account.
