Managing the YouTube Video entity

When creating and managing a YouTube Video entity, the entity-specific fields are:

  • Description: The video's description to display in the front-end.

  • Duration: Filling the Duration field enables front-end business logic based on how long the video is.

  • Video Id: The YouTube video id.

All other fields are in common with all entities. For example, see the story entity as a reference.

Translations

The YouTube Video entities follow the language-independent workflow. The entity fields and publishing status can be different for each language. 

For example, a YouTube Video can embed a YouTube video Id for the English UK language and another video Id for the French language. Also, the English UK video can be published while the French one is unpublished.
