YouTube

Embedding video should be one paste, not a ticket. The YouTube app adds a video field where editors drop in a YouTube link and see the video before they save.

What you can do

• YouTube Video field: a custom field for content and component models.
• Paste any YouTube URL: it supports watch, short, embed and mobile link formats.
• Automatic details: click Fetch and the app loads the video's metadata through YouTube's oEmbed API.
• Live preview: the video shows in the field with the standard YouTube embed player.
• Full metadata for your site: the complete video metadata is stored as JSON and returned by the Agility API, including what you need for thumbnails.

Who it's for

Content teams who publish YouTube video in articles, landing pages and product pages. Developers who want structured video data instead of pasted iframe code.

There's nothing to configure and no API key is needed for public videos. The docs show how to render the field.
