The YouTube integration connects your YouTube channel to Medialake. It syncs your channel's playlists and videos — each video becomes a file carrying its metadata and thumbnail — and captures organic performance metrics (views, likes, comments). Everything is read-only: Medialake never uploads, edits, or deletes anything on your channel.
