Step 1: Logging in
When you first get to the Medialake website, you will need to click on the 'Sign in' button to start the login process.
From there, you have several options for logging in.
With email and password.
With Google.
With Microsoft Azure.
With an email link.
Option 1: Email and Password
To login with your email and password, type them into the respective text boxes on the Login page. If you like, you can click the 'Remember me' box and your details will be saved for the next time you login. When you're done, click the blue 'Sign in' button and you'll be taken to the main dashboard.
Option 2: Google
To login using a Google account, click on the button which says 'Sign in with Google'. You will be redirected to another page where you can choose which Google account you'd like to login with. Once you've done that, you'll be taken to the main dashboard.
Option 3: Microsoft Azure
To login using a Microsoft Azure account, click on the button which says 'Sign in with Microsoft Azure'. You will be redirected to another page where you can choose which Microsoft Azure account you'd like to login with. Once you've done that, you'll be taken to the main dashboard.
Option 4: Email Link
To login using your email only, click on the link at the bottom of the Login page that says 'Email me a link to sign in instantly'. A new page will appear where you can type in your email. Click on the blue button which says 'Sign in with Email' and the login link will be sent to your inbox. Open the email and you will see a button that says 'Sign in to Medialake'. Click on that button and you'll be taken to the main dashboard.
Step 2: Switching Teams
Switching teams on the Medialake platform is very simple. Near the top of the sidebar, you can see your current team along with the Team Profile Image and the number of assets synched on the team. Click here to open the Teams slide-out menu. To find a specific team, either use the search bar at the top, or scroll through the list of teams. If you've only been added to a team very recently, try refreshing the list if it doesn't appear. Simply click on the desired team to switch. A notification will appear in the bottom right of the page, confirming the change of teams.
Step 3: Adding a Youtube Connection
To add a new connection you first need to navigate to the Connections Catalogue page.
This can be done in a few ways. First, from the main dashboard, you can click on '+ Add More' or on the plus button at the bottom of the Connections list. If you don't have any connections already, there will also be a blue 'Add a Source +' button.
The second way is via the sidebar on the left. Click on Connections, then on the slide-out menu that appears, click Catalogue.
Once you're on the Connections Catalogue page, you will be able to see all the sources currently available on the Medialake platform. Find Youtube in the Connection Catalogue and click 'View Integration'.
A slide-out will appear on the right side of the page. Click the blue '+ New Connection' button and select a connection setting.
Once you've done that, click 'Connect'. You will be redirected to another page where you can confirm which account you'd like to connect and review the permissions that will be granted to Medialake. When you've confirmed that, you will be redirected back to the Medialake site.
Once you're back on the Medialake site, you will be able to select which folders you would like to sync from this service. After you've chosen, click 'Sync Selected'.
Another window will appear asking you to confirm your selection. If you're happy, click 'Yes, Sync Selected'.
Now if you navigate to the dashboard you will see your new connection has appeared. After a few minutes, the assets from this connection will start to appear.
