    The YouTube Channel Module

    The YouTube Channel Module allows you to place a YouTube channel on your Content & Apps View.

    Adding YouTube Channel Modules to Content & Apps Views

    All modules are added to a View in the same way with our drag-and-drop interface. To get more information on this, see the Building a View: Adding Modules and Content to Views in Content & Apps help article.

    Once you have added a module and given it a name, the module will open for you to edit it or add content. Back on the View layout, you'll see a callout bubble next to your module - click the triangle for controls for your module. This callout will not appear on your published View and your new module will not appear on your Facebook Tab until you click Publish.

    Adding Channels to YouTube Channel Modules

    When you drag-and-drop a YouTube Channel module onto a View, it will automatically open to the edit page for that module. To add a location to a module you've already created:

    1. Next to your YouTube module you’ll see a callout bubble with the title of your module in green text. Click the green triangle next to the title to show your options.
    2. If you want your module to have a header, select the check box labeled Header. The text in the header will be the name you have assigned to the module.
    3. Click Edit Module and you'll be taken to the Edit Module page.
    4. To add a Youtube channel, enter either the name or URL of the YouTube channel into the Channel Name field.
    5. Click Update.

    There are also advanced options for this module - you can set the width or height for the video player if you wish it to be a different size than how it appears in the module position you place it in. You can also set the height of the playlist.

    About Metrics Recorded for the YouTube Channel Module

    Content & Apps captures metrics for:

    • Module views
    • Item plays
    • Item completions

    Customizing YouTube Channel Modules

    All customization happens in the brand CSS page.

    All modules take up 100% of the containers they are in, so you can resize them to whatever size you need with CSS.
