Input
This building block consumes 66 input parameters
| Name | Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
part Required |
STRING |
The part parameter serves two purposes in this operation. It identifies the properties that the write operation will set as well as the properties that the API response will include. The part properties that you can include in the parameter value are id, snippet, contentDetails, and status |
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 |
onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel |
STRING |
This parameter can only be used in a properly authorized request. Note: This parameter is intended exclusively for YouTube content partners. The onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel parameter specifies the YouTube channel ID of the channel to which a video is being added. This parameter is required when a request specifies a value for the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter, and it can only be used in conjunction with that parameter. In addition, the request must be authorized using a CMS account that is linked to the content owner that the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter specifies. Finally, the channel that the onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel parameter value specifies must be linked to the content owner that the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter specifies. This parameter is intended for YouTube content partners that own and manage many different YouTube channels. It allows content owners to authenticate once and perform actions on behalf of the channel specified in the parameter value, without having to provide authentication credentials for each separate channel |
contentDetails |
OBJECT |
Detailed settings of a broadcast |
contentDetails.boundStreamId |
STRING |
This value uniquely identifies the live stream bound to the broadcast |
contentDetails.boundStreamLastUpdateTimeMs |
DATE_TIME |
The date and time that the live stream referenced by boundStreamId was last updated |
contentDetails.closedCaptionsType |
ENUMERATION |
|
contentDetails.enableAutoStart |
BOOLEAN |
This setting indicates whether auto start is enabled for this broadcast |
contentDetails.enableClosedCaptions |
BOOLEAN |
This setting indicates whether HTTP POST closed captioning is enabled for this broadcast. The ingestion URL of the closed captions is returned through the liveStreams API. This is mutually exclusive with using the closed_captions_type property, and is equivalent to setting closed_captions_type to CLOSED_CAPTIONS_HTTP_POST |
contentDetails.enableContentEncryption |
BOOLEAN |
This setting indicates whether YouTube should enable content encryption for the broadcast |
contentDetails.enableDvr |
BOOLEAN |
This setting determines whether viewers can access DVR controls while watching the video. DVR controls enable the viewer to control the video playback experience by pausing, rewinding, or fast forwarding content. The default value for this property is true. Important: You must set the value to true and also set the enableArchive property's value to true if you want to make playback available immediately after the broadcast ends |
contentDetails.enableEmbed |
BOOLEAN |
This setting indicates whether the broadcast video can be played in an embedded player. If you choose to archive the video (using the enableArchive property), this setting will also apply to the archived video |
contentDetails.enableLowLatency |
BOOLEAN |
Indicates whether this broadcast has low latency enabled |
contentDetails.latencyPreference |
ENUMERATION |
If both this and enable_low_latency are set, they must match. LATENCY_NORMAL should match enable_low_latency=false LATENCY_LOW should match enable_low_latency=true LATENCY_ULTRA_LOW should have enable_low_latency omitted |

|
contentDetails.monitorStream |
OBJECT |
Settings and Info of the monitor stream |

contentDetails.monitorStream.embedHtml |
STRING |
HTML code that embeds a player that plays the monitor stream |
contentDetails.monitorStream.enableMonitorStream |
BOOLEAN |
This value determines whether the monitor stream is enabled for the broadcast. If the monitor stream is enabled, then YouTube will broadcast the event content on a special stream intended only for the broadcaster's consumption. The broadcaster can use the stream to review the event content and also to identify the optimal times to insert cuepoints. You need to set this value to true if you intend to have a broadcast delay for your event. Note: This property cannot be updated once the broadcast is in the testing or live state |
contentDetails.projection |
ENUMERATION |
The projection format of this broadcast. This defaults to rectangular |
contentDetails.recordFromStart |
BOOLEAN |
Automatically start recording after the event goes live. The default value for this property is true. Important: You must also set the enableDvr property's value to true if you want the playback to be available immediately after the broadcast ends. If you set this property's value to true but do not also set the enableDvr property to true, there may be a delay of around one day before the archived video will be available for playback |
contentDetails.startWithSlate |
BOOLEAN |
This setting indicates whether the broadcast should automatically begin with an in-stream slate when you update the broadcast's status to live. After updating the status, you then need to send a liveCuepoints.insert request that sets the cuepoint's eventState to end to remove the in-stream slate and make your broadcast stream visible to viewers |

|

|
contentDetails.monitorStream.enableMonitorStream BOOLEAN This value determines whether the monitor stream is enabled for the broadcast. If the monitor stream is enabled, then YouTube will broadcast the event content on a special stream intended only for the broadcaster's consumption. The broadcaster can use the stream to review the event content and also to identify the optimal times to insert cuepoints. You need to set this value to true if you intend to have a broadcast delay for your event. Note: This property cannot be updated once the broadcast is in the testing or live state |
|
contentDetails.projection ENUMERATION The projection format of this broadcast. This defaults to rectangular |
|

If you set this property's value to true but do not also set the enableDvr property to true, there may be a delay of around one day before the archived video will be available for playback |
|
contentDetails.startWithSlate BOOLEAN This setting indicates whether the broadcast should automatically begin with an in-stream slate when you update the broadcast's status to live.
