Set up a Youtube Channel mechanism
Updated over 2 months ago

Description

This campaign lets you automatically display your Youtube videos on a tab on your Facebook page. Give your fans a sneak preview of your exclusive videos.

Test this mechanism and download the documentation (assets, psd templates, renderings).

Configuration stages

Youtube Channel is made up of the following sections:

  • Configuration: to determine the general parameters of your campaign

  • Mechanics: to define the parameters of the game and its design, export the entries and manage the monitoring of your campaign (moderation, prize draws, etc.). This article will focus on this section in particular.

  • Installation: to activate and distribute your campaign to your audience.

To see the different options available for each section, we recommend that you read the articles associated with them.


Design

Before getting started, we recommend that you read this article, which explains the basics of creating graphics on Socialshaker: Creating the graphics for your campaign.

As with all the other mechanics, you can choose between using the templates provided or importing your own template. If you choose the latter option, you will need to create the following elements for this mechanic:

  • Campaign background (1920x1080px recommended).

  • Youtube Gallery background (810x700px recommended) - no Mobile image for this background, it will be resized automatically.

Concept

Youtube Channel

In this section, you can associate your Youtube channel. Enter the name of the channel, its ID and the name of the playlist you want to highlight.

If your channel has a personalised channel URL, you can find your user name at the end of the URL. For example, https://www.youtube.com/user/socialshaker, the username is ‘socialshaker’.

Alternatively, you can find your user ID at the end of the url address of your string. For example, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCODy0iQhCy-1jOWYP6wsKwA, the user ID is ‘UCODy0iQhCy-1jOWYP6wsKwA’.

Appearance

Customise the background image of the Youtube gallery, and the associated editorial content (number of views counter, list of videos, videos playing, ‘view more’ button).


Q&A

How can I modify my campaign once it has been activated?

You can, of course, modify your campaign at any time - just make the changes you want and confirm them using the ‘Validate’ button at the bottom of the page.

Can I randomly scroll through Youtube videos?

It is only possible to display existing playlists on your Youtube channel.
