Upload Videos to YouTube

Upload Videos to YouTube

Dear Zoho Flow Support Team,

We are writing to request a new feature for Zoho Flow: the ability to upload videos directly to YouTube. This functionality would significantly enhance the automation capabilities of Zoho Flow for managing our YouTube video content.

Current Limitations:

Currently, Zoho Flow lacks the ability to interact directly with YouTube for video uploads (we can use Youtube only as a trigger)

Proposed Feature:

We propose the implementation of an action in Zoho Flow specifically designed for uploading videos to YouTube. This action could offer two options:

  1. Upload from File: Allow users to select a video file downloaded from within flow.
  2. Upload from URL: Enable users to specify a URL pointing to the video hosted elsewhere. This would be the most efficient option, eliminating the need for downloading the video file altogether.

Benefits:

  • Streamlined Workflows: Uploading videos directly to YouTube from Zoho Flow would streamline workflows and improve efficiency.
  • Reduced Data Transfer: Uploading from URLs would minimize data transfer usage within Zoho Flow, as the video would be streamed directly from its source.
  • Enhanced Automation: The ability to upload videos based on triggers or events within Zoho Flow would unlock powerful automation possibilities for YouTube content management.

Use Cases:

  • Automatically upload Zoom recordings or webinars directly to YouTube upon completion.
  • Upload videos from cloud storage services like Google Drive or Dropbox based on specific criteria.
  • Trigger video uploads based on form submissions or other Zoho application events.

We believe this feature would be a valuable addition to Zoho Flow's capabilities and would greatly benefit users who manage YouTube video content through automation.

Thank you for considering our request. We look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Ram
