Sync your YouTube Channel with InstantEncore

We've made it even easier to manage your videos on InstantEncore. If you have a YouTube channel you can sync it with InstantEncore so that all of your existing videos are automatically imported. Also, in the future any videos you upload to YouTube will be imported automatically.

To use this feature do the following:
  1. Go to your Control Panel
  2. In the "Digital Assets" section click "Videos"
  3. Click "YouTube Channels" in the menu on the left
  4. Submit the name of your YouTube Channel
All videos will be automatically tagged with your name, and you can set it up to auto tag any other artists, ensembles, etc that will appear in every video.

As always, if you have any questions just drop us note or leave a comment.

I like that I won't have to manually add our YouTube videos from now on. I don't like that my current "what's new" list on the iPhone app is now all old videos from YouTube.

Thanks for the comment, Dale. Good point about the "What's New" now having your past items. Luckily, going forward anything new you post will jump to the top. Sorry for the unintended consequence. I hope overall it makes your life easier. Let us know if you have any other comments.

Is there a way to sort the youtube videos that are displayed on the site, i.e., which one to be shown and which one not? I don't want ALL my videos from you tube to be viewed but I can't seem to find a way to "remove" the ones i want out of instantencore? Does anybody know how?

If you sync InstantEncore with your YouTube channel then all the videos in your YouTube channel will appear - there isn't a way to filter them.

If you don't want all your YouTube videos to be on InstantEncore then you should manually add your videos to your page (one at a time). This way you can pick and choose which ones will be displayed.

Perhaps in the future we can add a hybrid system where you can choose to bulk import many videos without doing a full sync. Thanks for the suggestion and comment. We love the feedback.
