YouTube Connector Deployment Overview
To deploy the YouTube connector
-
Validate that your environment meets the requirements (see YouTube Connector Requirements).
-
On the Google server, create a Google API Console project to allow the Coveo connector access to the YouTube channel(s) of your choice (see Allowing the Coveo Connector Access to YouTube Data).
-
On the Coveo server, in the Coveo Administration Tool:
-
Create a YouTube field set to take advantage of the available YouTube metadata.
-
It is recommended to start by importing the default YouTube field set file ([CES_Path]\Bin\Coveo.CES.CustomCrawlers.YouTube.FieldSet.xml) to create fields for all the metadata available by default from YouTube videos (see Exporting and Importing a Field Set).
-
When you created custom metadata for your YouTube documents, add corresponding fields to the field set (see Adding or Modifying Custom Fields).
-
-
Configure and index a YouTube source.
The connector must know details about the YouTube channels to index their content (see Configuring and Indexing a YouTube Source).
-
If you encounter issues, verify if modifying the default value of hidden source parameters can help resolve the problems (see Modifying Hidden YouTube Source Parameters).
