Input

This building block consumes 5 input parameters

Name	Format	Description
`channelId`	`STRING`	The channelId parameter identifies the YouTube channel to which the banner is uploaded. The channelId parameter was introduced as a required parameter in May 2017. As this was a backward-incompatible change, channelBanners.insert requests that do not specify this parameter will not return an error until six months have passed from the time that the parameter was introduced. Please see the API Terms of Service for the official policy regarding backward incompatible changes and the API revision history for the exact date that the parameter was introduced
`onBehalfOfContentOwner`	`STRING`	Note: This parameter is intended exclusively for YouTube content partners. The onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter indicates that the request's authorization credentials identify a YouTube CMS user who is acting on behalf of the content owner specified in the parameter value. This parameter is intended for YouTube content partners that own and manage many different YouTube channels. It allows content owners to authenticate once and get access to all their video and channel data, without having to provide authentication credentials for each individual channel. The CMS account that the user authenticates with must be linked to the specified YouTube content owner
`etag`	`STRING`	Etag of this resource
`kind`	`STRING`	Identifies what kind of resource this is. Value: the fixed string "youtube#channelBannerResource"
