As the world's most popular video hosting website, YouTube allows users to upload or live stream their own videos to be shared with friends, colleagues, followers and the general public; watch and share others' videos; and enjoy a sense of community with public and private channels.
Brightspot's integration with YouTube can bring this powerful social tool to the fingertips of your publishers. Videos can be pulled directly from YouTube into your CMS, where they can be enhanced with metadata and highlighted on your websites, apps and social media channels.
