You must enable external publishing at the site level to allow users to publish presentations to YouTube. Mediasite publishes presentations to YouTube as video podcasts. When external publishing is enabled, users with the appropriate permissions will set a presentation’s status to “Viewable” and once its video podcast content has been generated, Mediasite will automatically publish the podcast to the selected sites.
To enable external publishing to YouTube on Mediasite, you must do the following:
Step 1: Connect Mediasite as client to YouTube Data API. Before you can publish presentations (video podcasts) to YouTube from Mediasite, you must register Mediasite with Google using a Google account your organization has authorized.
Step 2: Specify external publishing project default settings. You will select the default terms and conditions agreement used for external publishing projects.
Step 3: Add publishing attributes: You will associate publishing attributions with YouTube external publishing projects. Mediasite includes two YouTube publishing attributions: Creative Commons License and Standard YouTube License.
Step 4: Add external publishing project. The external publishing project determines what YouTube account (publishing point) is used.
For detailed instructions, see Add
YouTube external publishing project.
Step 5: Enable categories on Mediasite and add categories (optional). Once you enable categories on Mediasite, users can add new categories and associate them with presentations, templates, or schedules. When you publish a presentation to YouTube, and its assigned category matches one of YouTube’s categories, the uploaded video will be placed into that category.
For detailed instructions, see Enable categories on
Mediasite and Add

Before you can publish presentations (video podcasts) to YouTube from Mediasite, you must register Mediasite with Google using a Google account your organization has authorized. Once you register Mediasite as an application with Google (which includes providing the YouTube Data API with Mediasite’s Callback URL), it is granted a Client Id and Client Secret. You will then save these values back to Mediasite. Because these values are effectively credentials, you should encrypt them first.
Considerations
Before you get started, note the following:
•External publishing requires a Mediasite Vodcast license. For more information on licenses, contact your Mediasite sales representative.
•You will find detailed instructions for creating and configuring Google API projects to obtain the Client ID and secret in KBA 4081 available on the Mediasite Customer Care Portal at www.sonicfoundry.com/support.
•The instructions provided in KBA 4081 are based on information provided by Google. Refer to Google’s latest API documentation BEFORE you get started because their steps may change. Also, if you do not have the appropriate experience, find someone in your organization with experience using the YouTube Data API.
