YouTube API Key

mediapool needs a YouTube API key to be allowed to retrieve the playlist and video information. Please configure that key in extension settings of mediapool.

1. Visit Google Cloud Console

   Open following link in a browser, where you are already registered with your Google Email address: https://console.cloud.google.com

2. Choose Project

   At the upper left, you can switch to the desired project or you can can create a new project

3. Activate YouTube API

   Open the main menu on the left (burger menu) and choose "APIs and Services". Choose "Activate API and Services" button from the upper right. On new page I prefer to use the search. Search for "YouTube Data API v3". Select the result and click on "activate".

4. Create API Key

   After activation open the main menu "APIs and Services" (don't click) and choose "registration data" from sub-menu. Choose "Create new registration data" from the upper border.

5. Security

   We prefer to secure your new API key by a protection rule like server IP address.

6. Configure mediapool

   Open extension settings of mediapool and apply the API key.
