YouTube Update Video

Safely update selected fields on a YouTube video

What does this node do?

The YouTube Update Video node updates the title, description, or tags of a video owned by the connected YouTube account. It first reads the current snippet, merges only the supplied fields, and then calls videos.update. Omitted writable fields are therefore not erased.

Configuration

YouTube integration integration required

Google OAuth connection for the account that owns the video.

video string required

A YouTube video ID or supported video URL.

title string

Replacement title.

description string

Replacement description.

tags array

Replacement list of tags.

At least one of title, description, or tags is required.

Output

video_id string

ID of the updated video.

updated_fields array

Fields explicitly changed by the node.

video json

Updated YouTube video resource.

Authorization and quota

Updates use the youtube.force-ssl scope and always act as the connected user. The video must be accessible and writable by that account. A videos.update request typically costs 100 quota units.

Warning

Updating a video changes live YouTube content. Validate generated titles, descriptions, and tags before connecting them to this node.
