Hi,

I am a new using ES and I would like if ES is able to receive all video information already available on Youtube - e.g. title and description. Currently only the video picture is available in ES.

Additional I would like to know if it is possible to "delete" e.g. the location in the video section?
Hi there,

Good day to you. Regarding your inquiry,
> I would like if ES is able to receive all video information already available on Youtube

I believe you can utilize the story form to fetch the video's information. Checkout attached video screenshot for more information.

Unfortunately, there is no available settings to turn location off from video section. However, you can use css to hide that. Place the following css code into your custom css from your template to hide this.


body.view-videos.layout-form #es .o-form-group:last-child {

  display: none;

}


Hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for your support! It works fine now. Regarding sharing a new video I tried to share it via the video section in ES. Within this area you have manually add title and description. It seems that all this data is only added automatically via activity stream.

Hi there,

Yeah that is true. EasySocial allowing user to add their own video title/description of their desired through video's section.

Anyways, I am glad to hear your issue is now resolved.

Just for your information, I have locked and marked this thread as resolved to avoid confusions in the future. Please start a new thread if you have any other issue in the future so it will be easier for us to manage your inquiries.

Thanks for understanding.
